Course Objectives:
1. Integrate the concept of pharmacotherapeutics in the prevention and treatment of illness
in clients across the lifespan;
2. Apply nursing and related research in the use of pharmacologic agents;
3. Apply concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the selection and
monitoring of pharmacologic agents;
4. Discuss the ethical, legal, and professional aspects of advanced nursing practice roles in
relation to prescriptive authority and the roles of other health care team members;

Academic Progression, Description of Course Assignments, and Course Policies:
Academic Progression: An average of 75% must be earned on course examinations to
successfully pass this course. Any student with a final course exam average less than 75%
will not have any other course assignments (including extra credit, when available)
calculated in the final grade and cannot progress in the Doctor of Nursing Practice or
Master of Science in Nursing programs in the College of Nursing.
Proctored Examination (40, 60, and 40 points): Students will complete 3 examinations (see
course schedule) that will be proctored through the ProctorU Examination Proctoring Service.
Each exam consists of materials covered in each Unit of the course. And each exam will have 10
questions per Unit covered on the exam (40, 60, and 40 questions respectively for each exam).
Students will have 2 minutes per question. The exams are closed note, closed book, closed
Internet. NO sources either than the student’s own individual knowledge can be used
during the completion of the exams.
Comprehensive Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics Case Study: Students will be
placed into groups and will be responsible for completing one comprehensive case study that will
provide a detailed discussion of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a particular
medication drug class. Each member of the group is graded individually. Therefore, students
must demonstrate adequate participation in the assignment. While items in the case study are
broad, students are encouraged to contact the instructor for any direction regarding completion of
the questions. Grading for the assignment will be based on the following rubric:
Item
Possible Points Points Earned
Answers are complete and comprehensive

Answers are applied to a clinical scenario and are clinically
10
appropriate to the primary care setting
Responses are provided using most recently available
10

Resources provided are recent (Most no more than 5 years
5
old or no more than 10 years old where appropriate)

* = Students who fail to demonstrate substantial input into the assignment will earn a 0 on the
assignment.

Attendance/ Participation (10 points): Students are expected to arrive promptly to class on the
8 days the course is scheduled to meet live (see course schedule, above). In addition, students are
expected to remain in class for the entire meeting session (3 hours) and are required to participate
in any on-line initiated discussions. Attendance at each session is worth approximately 1.25
points. Students are also expected to arrive to the live class sessions prepared for discussion and
are expected to complete any assigned reading assignments before the class meeting. In addition,
any additional readings and/or resources posted to the WebCourses site should be read and
reviewed prior to the class meetings.
Missed Examinations: It is not advisable to miss an examination. The makeup examination
and/or assignment may be different than the original exam and could consist of multiple choice,
matching, and/or essay style questioning. The instructor(s) can also require additional work such
as research assignments, essays, or other work in addition to the examination substitution.
Students who do not notify the instructor of a missed assessment within 2 hours of the exam
closure time will forfeit makeup and receive a 0 score. All makeup assessments are taken at the
instructor’s discretion and are administered live on the Orlando campus.

YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUS MAY BE AT RISK!
Academic Dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated!!!
The University of Central Florida has recently started an account with turnitin.com., an
automated system which instructors can use to quickly and easily compare each student's report
to billions of web sites, as well as an enormous database of student papers that grows with each
submission. After submission of the paper, instructors receive a report that states if and how
another author's work was used.
Violations of student academic behavior standards are outlined in The Golden Rule, the
University of Central Florida's Student Handbook. See http://www.ucf.edu/goldenrule/ for
further details.
1. Cheating whereby non-permissible written, visual or oral assistance including that obtained
from another student is utilized on examinations, course assignments or projects. The
unauthorized possession or use of examination or course related material shall also constitute
cheating.
2. Plagiarism whereby another's work is deliberately used or appropriated without any indication
of the source. Thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student's
own. Any student failing to properly credit ideas or materials taken from another has
plagiarized.
3. A student who has assisted another in any of the aforementioned breach of standards shall be
considered equally culpable.
ACADEMIC ACTION
* Taken by Instructor, Chair, or Dean of College*
