  Online Tutorial Details:

This program is designed to help students of the healthcare professions learn basic concepts and principles related to the field of pharmacology. The content is ideal for introducing nursing students to pharmacology and the administration of drugs. It will help prepare students for learning the procedures and skills necessary for the safe administration of medications to patients. In addition, it can be used by current practitioners of the nursing profession to review of these important concepts.

The tutorial is divided into five modules. The first four are instructional units. The last is a test bank containing forty questions divided into four tests.

Test results are displayed at the end of each test including the number correct, the number incorrect, the percentage correct, and the correct answers accompanied by rationales. Test scores are stored in databases on the EDGT server for later instructor or student retrieval and review.

Module 1: Introductory Concepts
