Pharmacology CPU
Introduction
The Applied Technologies
Pharmacology CPU introduces students to both the therapeutic and research
and design aspects of pharmacology. Students discover the nursing
process of drug therapy and explore proper drug administration, common
adverse effects, and various types of drugs. They also explore the
drug pipeline and examine how a new drug travels from laboratory testing
to FDA approval.
Students discover the history of pharmacology and drug regulations
and how historical developments effect modern pharmacology. They examine how incidents such as the Elixir Sulfanilamide and Thalidomide
tragedies influenced drug laws and the FDA.
They
practice methods to reduce drug errors such as proper reading and
writing of prescriptions and drug labels. They also learn important
aspects of the nursing process as it relates to pharmacology, including
contraindications, drug and food interactions, and proper patient
education.
