Catalog description

This theory course is an introduction to the promotion of patient health across the lifespan. Identified drug classifications will be discussed, and the nurse's role in drug therapy will be explored.

Clinical judgment will be explored through individual responses to drug therapy and variables which affect such responses in the provision of safe medication administration.
