This theory course builds on basic knowledge of pathophysiology to enhance
nursing management of health, wellness, and disease. Analysis of current
pharmacological based research will provide the foundation for evidence based
nursing practice. Physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological
concepts that explain the rationale behind treatment decisions are examined and
equip nursing students with a deep understanding of the principles, mechanisms,
and safe administration of medications. This course emphasizes evidence-based
practice, medication safety, and the integration of pharmacological concepts into
nursing care.
