This document contains 100 fully answered questions and concepts from NUR 370: Pharmacology and Drug Administration, providing a concise yet comprehensive review of essential pharmacologic principles. The material is structured around key nursing concepts and includes detailed content on the Six Rights of Drug Administration, drug classifications, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, toxicities, and organ-specific damage (hepatic, renal, dermatological, neurological). Also included are in-depth explanations of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pediatric dosage calculations (Clark’s, Young’s, Fried’s Rules), and drug interactions (drug-drug, drug-food, and lab interference).
Other covered topics include pregnancy drug categories (A–X), controlled substance schedules, nursing interventions for adverse drug reactions, and FDA/pharmaceutical development processes (from preclinical trials to Phase IV studies). The document also reinforces nursing responsibilities within the nursing process (ADPIE), patient safety, and critical thinking for drug therapy implementation in various patient populations.
Recommended for:
– Nursing students in BSN or ADN programs
– Pharmacology-focused courses in undergraduate nursing curricula
– NCLEX-RN exam preparation (especially pharmacology and nursing process components)
– Students in healthcare-related degrees such as Pharmacy Tech, Pre-Nursing, or Health Sciences
– Nurse educators seeking structured Q&A for instructional or quiz purposes
Clear definitions, accurate answers, and clinical application make this a valuable resource for exam preparation and course mastery.
