Purpose The purpose of this assignment is for the student to synthesize pharmacological knowledge (i.e., core drug knowledge, core patient variables, and nursing implications) of pharmacotherapeutic agents into a useful teaching and learning tool for nurses and patients.

Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:

CO1: Apply the concepts of pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics

to the use of specific medication classifications in specific health conditions and in consideration of medication

side/adverse effects, nursing implications, and medication teaching. (POs 1, 2, and 3)

CO2: Apply principles of health promotion, as well as illness and injury prevention, to promote safety and effectiveness of commonly used pharmacologic therapy across the lifespan, taking into consideration

sociocultural, genetic/genomic, developmental, and gender implications. (POs 3 and 8)

CO3: Utilize the nursing process in understanding the effects of drug therapy on health outcomes across the

lifespan within the framework of a diverse population of individuals, families, and communities. (PO 4)

Due date: Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.

Total points possible: 100 points

Preparing the assignment

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions. 1. Choose a pharmacological agent that has been on the market less than 5 years.

2. Research the literature and obtain two to three resources for current, evidence -based information related to the pharmacological agent.

3. Develop a teaching brochure and one page paper following these guidelines. a. Brochure for nurses- Focus on nurses for literacy level

• Key/Relevant Drug Information (30 points/30%) o Drug Class o Mechanism of Action o Drug Administration and Dosage o Drug Interactions o Lab effects/interference
