NURS 3424 Pharmacology: Nursing Implications
Spring 2010
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will focus on the fundamental principles of pharmacology and
investigation of the major classifications of drugs with emphasis on pharmacotherapeutic actions and
nursing implications. Previously learned skills and concepts as well as prerequisite science courses are
integrated into the discussions. Students will be required to take an assessment Pharmacology Exam
(ATI).

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Recognize pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynanamics of selected agents, and be able to
administer medications according to current and approved standards.
2. Select and prioritize nursing interventions based on differentiating side effects from adverse
reactions in clients.
3. Identify specific client responses influenced by pharmacodynamic interactions of categories of
drugs.
4. Utilize the nursing process and critical thinking skills to assist clients with management of drug
therapy.
5. Identify key elements to be included in client teaching programs related to medications.

Research and writing competency is an expectation in professional nursing, therefore, effective writing
and proficiency in research is required in this course. ENGL 1301 and RSWR 3345 are required prior
to this course and provide preparation for the writing level required in this course. Consult Purdue’s
OWL website or WBU’s Saturday clinic for writing assistance in APA citation. Research and writing
competencies are expected, source selection shall be nursing peer reviewed, format, citations,
organization, grammar and mechanics can impact your grade on written assignments.
Group process is an essential part of professional nursing, therefore, group projects will be required in
various nursing courses. Just as various shifts are responsible for patient care and nurses rely on each
other and other professionals to accomplish total care, you will rely on each other and work together for
a particular project. The grade earned goes to the entire group, therefore, it is crucial that students work
together, review the grading rubric, and review the work together before presentation or paper
submission.

To foster long-term comprehension and development of an ability to apply learned pharmacology
knowledge to situations similar to the Board of Nurse Examiners NCLEX all students are required to
take the Assessment Technologies Institute exam. The student must purchase the Pharmacology for
Nursing ATI text and participate in the self paced self study modules. It is the students’ responsibility to
complete each self study module. Prior to the ATI exam students will receive access to online practice
ATI pharmacology exams. The student should use these practice exams to prepare for the Proctored ATI
exam usually given the week of final exams. Students who score below level two will be required to
partake in a pharmacology remediation course. This remediation course will be determined and designed
at the discretion of the pharmacology faculty.
Class Attendance
1. The student must attend the class (es) for which he/she is enrolled.
2. A student enrolled at Wayland Baptist University should make every effort to attend all class
meetings. All absences must be explained to the satisfaction of the instructor.
3. A student who misses twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the regularly scheduled class
meetings will receive a grade of ―F‖ for that class.
4. The instructor may count three tardies as one absence.
5. If an instructor fails to appear or fails to send notification of arrival within the first fifteen
minutes of a class period, the student may leave without incurring an absence.
6. Mandatory Health Fair/SAMCEE or other Dean mandated Attendance
7. Other Dean of Nursing School required community/school events to be announced
Disability Statement
Wayland Baptist University adheres to a policy of providing equal opportunity to students with
disabilities. Disability is defined by the University as any condition that falls under the purview of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Wayland will strive to achieve optimum opportunity for participation in the
University experience for all students, regardless of their circumstance. The University encourages any
student who has a disability, as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to inform the University of
any Special Requirements or needs by reporting these to the Dean of Students or the Vice President for
Academic and Student Services. The University will strive to meet these needs in accordance with
applicable federal guidelines and Christian ethical considerations.
Student Conduct
(This is a statement of conduct standards. It is enforced in conjunction with the Discipline Policy and
Substance Abuse Policy found elsewhere in this handbook.) Wayland proudly adheres to high standards
of intellectual, moral, ethical, and spiritual values. Convinced that self-discipline is more desirable than
outside force and that the truly educated person must pursue what is right under all circumstances,
Wayland entrusts each student with the solemn obligation of preserving these standards.
However, in the light of revelation, reason, and the custom of the Christian community from which
Wayland has sprung, certain practices are evaluated:
1. Personal integrity in keeping with New Testament standards is expected of all students.
2. Respect for the property, knowledge, and rights of other people must prevail.
3. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages and/or illegal drugs is forbidden.
4. Gambling, hazing, and the on-campus possession of firearms or deadly weapons are prohibited. BB
Guns and Paint Ball Guns are also prohibited.

5. The use of tobacco by students is discouraged, though permitted in certain designated areas of the
campus. In consideration of the rights of others and the requirements of safety, such areas are
designated.
The authority of the University is exercised over all student groups or organizations bearing the name of
the university, or any student enterprises to the extent necessary to safeguard the good name and well
being of Wayland. Specifically, each student is expected to conduct himself in such a manner as to
uphold, not detract from, the good name of Wayland Baptist University. If one feels that he/she cannot
subscribe to the moral and social practices of the University, he/she will find greater acceptance
elsewhere.

Testing
Test dates and content will be published in the course syllabi downloaded from Black Board. A test
blueprint may be prepared by the faculty. The type of question will be categorized two ways, when
applicable. First the question will be categorized by the areas of the nursing process; assessment,
planning, implementation and evaluation. The question will also be categorized by cognitive level;
knowledge, analysis, application, and comprehension. In the event a faculty must change a test date,
they will notify the students as soon as practical.

Make-up Tests
Occasionally a student will miss a test that is scheduled for a class. A student should contact the
instructor first before the test is missed, and then make arrangements to take the make-up test with the
staff at the front desk in the main office. Only ONE make up test is permitted per course, good reason is
needed to take a make-up test (determined by instructor). The make-up test may be administered by the
staff at the IH 35 location on Monday- Friday at 1 PM; if both the instructor and the individual student
contact the office to schedule the test. Test must be completed within one week from date of missed
exam. There will be no make-up quizzes & no blueprints for quizzes.
