About this course

This course introduces clinically grounded pharmacology for nursing practice with a strong focus on pharmacokinetics and bedside medication safety. Core topics include ADME and how absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion shape onset, intensity, and duration of drug effects; key PK parameters (bioavailability, Vd, clearance, half-life, steady state, accumulation) and their practical use in dosing and monitoring. The course emphasizes special-population dose adjustment, recognition and prevention of interactions and toxicity (including CYP induction/inhibition), therapeutic drug monitoring basics, and interpretation of simple concentration–time graphs. Pharmacovigilance skills cover ADR recognition, triage, documentation, and reporting workflows with ethical/legal considerations.
