Document preview thumbnail
Preview 3 out of 19 pages

This comprehensive study guide covers foundational pharmacology concepts for Exam 1, including pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), pharmacodynamics (receptor theory, drug actions), therapeutic drug monitoring (peak and trough levels), drug interactions, geriatric considerations, and medication safety (six rights, culture of safety, and BEERS criteria). It explains key topics such as bioavailability, first-pass effect, half-life, steady state, loading doses, side effects versus adverse reactions, and the factors affecting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. This guide is designed to help nursing students understand core pharmacological principles and prepare effectively for their first pharmacology exam.
