Course Description

This course is designed to further build on the strong foundation possessed by an RN in order to further equip him or her with important pharmacologic knowledge for patient care. It covers basic clinical pharmacokinetics to establish a bedrock of solid principles that inform all drug assessments and then covers commonly seen high-risk, knowledge-based situa-tions to equip RNs to assess and manage issues, including septic shock, rapid sequence intubation and resuscitation pharmacotherapy. The course then covers commonly seen medication misadventures from abused and misused sub-stances, including placebo and nocebo treatments, essential oils and marijuana.

Program Learning Outcomes

This program prepares the learner to:

  • Describe the fundamentals of pharmacokinetics that are foundational to all pharmacotherapy.
  • Use knowledge of specific pharmacologic management of disease states to manage critically ill patients.
  • Discuss commonly misused medications and their effects and be able to treat adverse effects from medication misadventures.
