Medical Book Clinical Simulations in Pharmacology 1 Institutional Version
Users can use the program to look up physician orders, patient lab values, ECG strips, and drug information. Research "gems" aide users in answering multiple choice questions interspersed in the program. Rationales are provided for correct and incorrect answers. Clinical Simulations in Pharmacology I provides nurses and nursing students with realistic, interactive, and highly visual multimedia educational experiences. The program is ideal for remediation or learning about new drugs. Coverage includes the newest treatment modalities, indications for specific medications, and the therapeutic actions, side effects, contraindications, and adverse effects associated with selected medications--all using a case study approach. Each simulation stresses safe and effective medication administration and patient teaching, encouraging users to make assessments, engage in treatment decisions, and examine the outcomes. Decisions are evaluated and users see the response to their actions, just as they do in an actual clinical environment. There's instant access to Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictionary via "hot links" throughout each case, immediate feedback, two-level performance scores for knowledge and application, topical bibliographies, and the opportunity to earn four hours of continuing education credit. Contact Hours: 4 Windows / Network Compatible Unit 1: Adolescent with Asthma This program explores the clinical presentation and treatment of a 14-year-old male with acute exacerbation of severe persistent asthma. Learners are guided through history, assessment, and nursing diagnoses and actions. They also master safe and effective administration of sympathomimetic, xanthine, anticholinergic, and corticosteroid drugs. Unit 2: Diabetic Outpatient Clinic This simulation examines the care of diabetic patients in an outpatient setting. Learners study the basic pathophysiology of type i and type ii diabetes, and investigate the pharmacotherapeutics of insulin and selected oral hypoglycemic agents. Unit 3: Pharmacotherapeutics for Gastrointestinal Pain GI pain has many causes, from diverticulitis to gastroesophageal reflux disease to peptic ulcer disease. Here nurses learn the pharmacodynamics and therapeutic action of major drugs used to treat these conditions, along with essentials for patient teaching. Unit 4: Psychopharmacological Treatment for Depression Antidepressant medication use for a patient hospitalized with major depressive disorder is the focal point of this simulation. The program enables learners to apply knowledge of therapeutic actions, side effects, contraindications, and assessment data in the formation of a nursing care plan
