Drug Overview

Principles of Pharmacology Overview

Principles of pharmacology provide the foundation for understanding how medications work in the body. Understanding absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, drug interactions, and adverse effects enables safe and effective medication administration across all care settings.

Pharmacology principles apply to all medications across all specialties and patient populations. Nurses must understand these concepts to prevent medication errors, optimize therapeutic effects, monitor for adverse reactions, and educate patients about their medications.

Key Focus Areas: Drug classifications, mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications, side effects, interactions, nursing monitoring, and patient education
