NURS 504Pharmacology for Advanced NursingPractice 3 UnitsIn modern pharmacology, it’s so clear that even if you have a fixed dose of a drug, theindividuals respond very differently to one and the same dose.—Arvid Carlsson, Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine 2000I.Course Prerequisites or CorequisitesRecent (within 5 years), satisfactory completion of undergraduate courses that include Biochemistry,Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Pharmacology. It is expected that enrolled students havereviewed their undergraduate coursework in Pharmacology and possess a wor king knowledge of cellbiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and human genetics at the undergraduate level.II.Catalogue DescriptionThis is a course in advanced pharmacology including pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, andpharmacotherapeutics of all broad categories of agents.III.Course DescriptionsThis course is a comprehensive review of pharmacological concepts and principles. The course builds onthe pharmacology knowledge base acquired in the baccalaureate nursing program. It focuses on use ofpharmacotherapeutics in health promotion and the treatment of disease. The interrelationships of nursingand drug therapy will be explored through study of pharmacodynamics, dynamics of patient response tomedical and nursing therapeutic regimens, and patient teaching as well as the psychosocial, economic,cultural, ethical, and legal factors affecting drug therapy, patient responses, and nursing practice.NURS 5041

IV.Course ObjectivesAt completion of this course students will be able to:Objective No.12ObjectivesDemonstrate knowledge of advanced pharmacologic principles commensurate forindependent practice.Discuss therapeutics of the drug classes covered in this course with consideration of theirmechanismsof action, cautions, contraindications, and rationale for use across the lifespan.Articulate concepts of pharmacogenomics and apply these to understand the variation in drugresponses in specific patient groups, for example, those differing by age, sex, race, geographicorigin.Identify appropriate pharmacotherapy approaches to common conditions encountered in theprimarycare setting with an emphasis on safety and appropriate patient and family education.Demonstrate advanced knowledge of specific adverse drug effects and prioritization ofapproaches to ADE management.3456Apply knowledge of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics relevant to polypharmacyand drug- drug interactions.7Demonstrate use of professional technological resources on drug therapy consistent withan ongoing commitment to lifelong learning to support advanced practice.V.Course Format/Instructional MethodsThe format of the course will be online, using both asynchronous and synchronous approaches.Weekly topics listed in the course outline will be covered using before-class online review of majordrug classes relevant to the topic, online lectures, textbook and other readings, “thought” questions,online discussions, audio visual materials, case studies, and cour se handouts. Weekly problemsolving sets will be assigned to assist students in learning the material and its clinical applications.VI.Student Learning OutcomesStudent learning for this course relates to one or more of the following nine nursing core compe tencies:Nursing Core Competencies123456789Scientific Foundation CompetenciesLeadershipQualityPractice InquiryTechnology and Information LiteracyPolicyHealth Delivery SystemEthicsIndependent PracticeNURS 504*CourseObjective1, 2, 3, 4*2, 3, 4, 5****2, 3113, 6*Highlighted in this courseNURS 5042

Four noncumulativetests of equal weight will be given.Exam 1 will be based on content material from Weeks 1 through 4. Exam 2 will be based oncontent from Weeks 5-7. Exam 3 will be based on content from Weeks 8-11, and Exam 4 will coverthe content from Weeks 12-14.Exam Policies: Students are expected to take all examinations as scheduled in the ContentOutline. Exams are password protected in 2NUSC; they will be provided via a wall post on the LMSor via email from your section instructor. The exam may be opened and started at 12:00 noonPacific Time. Students will have 72 hours to complete the exam, which must be completed the firstNURS 5046

time it is opened. The exam clock will be set for 75 minutes. Requests to take an exam on a daydifferent from the stated date will only be granted for serious situations and must be approved bythe instructor.All exams in this course will require students to deploy a software called Proctortrack. This is asoftware system that automatically proctors student exams, verifies student identities throughoutthe exam, and provides instructors with brief video clips and screenshots if potential testingviolations occur. Proctortrack is fully integrated with the Learning Management System, however,students are required to complete a practice exam at the start of the semester to ensure thetechnology is setup properly on their computers. If students experience issues or have questionswith the practice exam or with Proctortrack in general, students should contact student support forhelp in advance of taking the exam.To ensure a successful testing environment, students should: Choose a private location with no distractions Have nothing around that could make noise Set up proper lighting and ensure his/her face is clearly visible Not have food or drink Close all browser tabs and other programs Have only one keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected Not leave testing area/camera view during the exam Not take or use notes (unless specifically allowed by instructor) Not use or have nearby additional technology (phones, tablets, television, etc.) Not have other people in the room Have a hardwire connection Not write or take notes during the exam If disruption in the examination occurs for any reasons student must call tech support toreport concern and notify the section instructor.This assignment relates to Student Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.Assignment: Homework (20% of course grade)Assigned homework must be completed and uploaded before the start of synchronous sessioneach week, beginning with Week 3. Students are expected to complete and upload theirdocument within the timeframe set by the section instructor (refer to assignment section on theLMS for specific homework instructions and timelines). Homework is to be edited for correctgrammar and spelling; any references should be cited using APA format, and directquotations must be indicated in appropriate APA format. It is expected that students will watchALL asynchronous materials, and complete ALL online questions from the module beforeattempting the homework.Homework grades will be based on:1.2.3.4.Use of correct terminologyQuality of writingFactual accuracyEvidence of careful engagement with asynchronous materials and therecommended text book5. Accurate and eligible prescriptionNURS 5047

Due: Weekly (prior to Live Session)This assignment relates to Student Outcomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.Assignment: Class participation (10% of course grade)Class participation will recognize student asynchronous preparation for live session, evidence o fcomprehension of the material, and the ability to communicate knowledge with peers. Classparticipation is evidenced by completion of asynchronous exercise questions, verbal and chat podcontributions during synchronous sessions AND in the weekly question wall. Grading for classparticipation is based on the rubric for preparation and participation (posted in Course Tools).Posting a weekly wall question 24 hours prior to asynchronous class and responding to a fellowstudent’s question is included in the participation component of this course.Due: Weekly (prior to live session)This assignment relates to Student Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.Note: Faculty reserve the right to modify content and/or date for assignments and/orexams. In some cases, depending on national and University holidays, live session daysand times may be adjusted. Notice of such changes will be given at the start of thesemester to permit students to arrange their work schedules accordingly.Class grades will be based on the following:ClassGrades3.85–4.00 A3.60–3.84 A3.25–3.59 B 2.90–3.24 B2.60–2.89 B2.25–2.59 C 1.90–2.24 CFinal –7670–72AAB BBC CC-Within the School of Social Work, grades are determined in each class based on the following standards,which have been established by the faculty of the School: (1) Grades of A or A- are reserved for studentwork which not only demonstrates very good mastery of content but which also shows that the studenthas undertaken a complex task, has applied critical- thinking skills to the assignment, and/or hasdemonstrated creativity in her or his approach to the assignment. The difference between these twogrades would be determined by the degree to which these skills have been demonstrated by the student.(2) A grade of B will be given to work which is judged to be very good. This grade denotes that astudent has demonstrated a more-than-competent understanding of the material being tested in theassignment. (3) A grade of B will be given to student work which meets the basic requirements of theassignment. It denotes that the student has done adequate work on the assignment and meets basiccourse expectations. (4) A grade of B- will denote that a student’s performance was less than adequateon an assignment, reflecting only moderate grasp of content and/or expectations. (5) A grade of C wouldreflect a minimal grasp of the assignments, poor organization of ideas and/or several significant areasNURS 5048

requiring improvement. (6) Grades between C- and F will be applied to denote a failure to meet minimumstandards, reflecting serious deficiencies in all aspects of a student’s performance on the assignment.NURS 5049
