Pharmacology Scenario
Semester 1
This scenario has been designed for maximum flexibility for use in the classroom or in a simulation center. Students perform appropriate pre-assessments to determine if a medication can be safely administered to a VR patient. Students may also perform post-assessments after administration of medication to determine if side/adverse effects are occurring or if desired therapeutic outcomes are being met. A formulary of available medications for administration is aligned with the classes of medications in the Open RN Nursing Pharmacology, 2e OER text book.
• Apply components of the nursing process to the administration of medications
• Safely administer medications to diverse client populations
• Use appropriate communication techniques
