Description
This Regis NU641 Clinical Advanced Pharmacology Midterm Exam
focuses on core principles of drug therapy, covering pharmacokinetics,
pharmacodynamics, and the management of chronic conditions such as
heart failure, hypertension, and migraines. It evaluates clinical decision-
making, patient education regarding medication side effects, and
appropriate, evidence-based pharmacological interventions for diverse
populations.
Key Topics and Focus Areas
Cardiovascular Agents: Detailed focus on ACE inhibitors (management of
renal hemodynamics and diabetes), beta-blockers (risks of abrupt
cessation), and statins for hyperlipidemia.
Neurological Conditions: Treatment strategies for migraines (triptans),
tension headaches, and cluster headaches.
Key Principles:
Understanding drug half-life, patient-centered care, and reducing
medication errors.
Pathophysiology Application: Linking medication choice to underlying
(e.g., HF, HTN).
