## Purpose: To expand understanding and application pharmacologic concepts for integration of these concepts to support critical thinking.
**Course outcomes:** This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
**CO1**: Apply the concepts of pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics to the use of specific medication classifications in specific health conditions and in consideration of medication side/adverse effects, nursing implications, and medication teaching. (POs 1, 2, and 3)
**CO2**: Apply principles of health promotion, as well as illness and injury prevention, to promote safety and effectiveness of commonly used pharmacologic therapy across the lifespan, taking into consideration sociocultural, genetic/genomic, developmental, and gender implications. (POs 3 and 8)
**CO3**: Utilize the nursing process in understanding the effects of drug therapy on health outcomes across the lifespan within the framework of a diverse population of individuals, families, and communities. (PO 4)
**CO4**: Examine the professional nursing roles of care manager, educator, researcher, and advocate in relation to pharmacologic therapy and within the framework of a diverse population of individuals, families, and communities. (POs 6 and 7)
**Due date:** Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.
**Total points possible:** 50 points each; 100 points in course
**Preparing the assignment**
Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
