Course Description: This course is designed to provide nursing students with the knowledge of biological
factors influencing drug actions; predictable effects of medications on a physiological problem; modifiers of
the predictable effects; commonalities and variations between the actions of medications employed for
comparable therapeutic effects; adverse effects of medications that can and do commonly occur and
application of the nursing process in drug therapy.
Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
A. Nursing Process 1. Discuss drug classifications, indications of use, desired effects, potential adverse reactions and appropriate nursing interventions with selected medications.
2. Identify how the nurse uses the nursing process and the knowledge of pharmacological management when
working with clients and families of different cultures and ages.
3. Use the nursing process in the assessment, calculation, implementation and evaluation of medication
administration.
B. Critical Thinking 1. Utilize concepts of basic sciences in relation to pharmacokinetics when planning client care.
2. Recognize the mechanisms of drug action and interaction including the pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic
and pharmacodynamic processes in medication administration.

Academic Dishonesty within the Nursing Department:
Everest College Nursing Department expects every student to engage in all scholastic pursuits in a manner that is
beyond reproach. Students are required to maintain complete honesty and integrity in the classroom and/or
laboratory. Any student found guilty of dishonesty in scholastic work is subject to disciplinary action.
A. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on scholastic work, plagiarism and collusion.
B. Cheating on scholastic work includes:
Copying from another student’s test paper or other scholastic work.
Using, during a test, materials or equipment not authorized by the person administering the test.
Collaborating, without authority, with another student during an examination or in the preparation of
scholastic work.
Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting or soliciting, in whole or in part, the contents of
an un-administered test.
Soliciting, bribing or coercing an instructor or student grader to alter the score or grade achieved on a test
or other scholastic work.
Substituting for another student, or permitting another student to substitute for one-self, to take a test or
prepare other academic work or laboratory assignments/experiments.
Soliciting, bribing or coercing another person to obtain an un-administered test/examination or
information about an un-administered test/examination.
Using thoughts, words, or expressions of other’s works, including web-based information, as one’s own
(plagiarism).
All student conduct will support academic honesty. Any student who violates any of the criteria under A or B
above will receive an “F” or zero grade for that specific occurrence. Academic Dishonesty constitutes
unprofessional conduct and lack of good professional character. Any student participating in any form of
academic dishonesty will be scheduled to see the Campus Nursing Director and may be dismissed from the

program. The department goal is that each student completes his or her own work in order to master the skills
needed to deliver safe, competent nursing care.
This syllabus is a representation of the course content, organization and evaluation processes. The
Campus Nursing Director and faculty teaching this course reserve the right to reasonably alter the
sequences of activities, evaluation and assignment dates. Every effort will be made to inform class
members in advance of such changes. Students are responsible for following the syllabus and any
changes instituted by the faculty.
