Pharmacology

You will be pre-assigned as a team to one of the following Units: Unit Three: Maintenance of Homeostasis; Unit Eleven: Respiratory Drugs; Unit Twelve: Cardiovascular Drugs; Unit Thirteen: Gastrointestinal Drugs.

This is a 4-week activity. You will stay in your team for each of the weeks that follow.

Prepare a 15-minute Summary Presentation for the class to include the following:

1. Summary of the Unit/Classification
2. Minimum of three types of drugs or supplements
3. Typical routes of administration
4. Common side effects and adverse effects
5. Special considerations
6. Common Nursing interventions

Teams must distill the material to only key points. The presentation may be a PowerPoint, lecture and handouts, poster, or anyway, the team feels they will best present the information. Use your textbook and Davis's Drug Guide as your resources.

Teams collect points over the four weeks for their presentation. They are graded on their accuracy and thoroughness of their presentation as well as how well they worked as a team. At the end of the four modules, each team will be awarded an Olympic medal for the number of points earned.

Following your in-class activity, prepare your presentation for submission. Scan the materials if needed.
