Learning outcomes
Aim of the unit of General Pharmacology within the course " Physiopathology applied to Nursing" is to give students the basics related to mechanism and use of drugs, with reference to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance. Basic concepts in pharmacology prepare the nurse to the management and surveillance of pharmacological therapies and to educating patient about their medications. The General Pharmacology module is preparatory to the study of each class of drugs, starting from anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs. Further knowledge will be gained with the Clinical Pharmacology module.
