This week gives you a basic foundation of pharmacokinetics and the principles behind it, as well as a general disease state knowledge of medications (i.e. this is a prostate cancer drug, etc). There are calculations mixed in this week (i.e. 15 mL = how many teaspoonfuls, etc). Also, begin to think as the prescriber instead of the person administering the medication.
Instruction:
Say you want to reference the CDC. Many will put (CDC, 2012). That is great however for the first citation you want as follows:
(Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2012).
For this class, you need to start thinking outside of the role of provider administering the medication but the provider prescribing the medication. Many students have trouble pulling away from the traditional RN role into a prescriber role. Focus on the disease state, what you would prescribe, doses, adverse effects, monitoring parameters, etc.
When writing papers for this course, please use the following format: generic (brand). Example: acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is important to know the generic names as this helps decrease medication errors. I usually give a couple of weeks to get acclimated to this format before points are deducted,
Please use the correct APA format for discussion applications. Please note, an abstract is not necessary for assignments in this course.
Many students will inquire about available drug resources. I recommend using MicroMedex or Lexi-Comp. Many of your health care institutions have free versions for usage and the companies offer student discounts to purchase for smart phone usage.
