Define the principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in the delivery of pharmacological care.
Discuss the importance of the pharmacokinetic processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion during the administration of medications.
Explain the importance of identifying the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics principles in the use of alternative, nutritional, and complementary medications.
To maximize beneficial responses and minimize harm, discuss how drug therapy must be adjusted to account for sources of individual variation; i.e. size, genetic factors, co-morbid conditions, etc.
Define the nurse’s role and legal responsibilities for medication administration.
