modules in the course. You will not see many direct questions about this information; however, this foundational
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




knowledge is necessary to understand how drugs work in the body and how the body responds to drugs. You will be
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




much more successful if you have a strong foundational knowledge and understanding of this information.

Interactions, and Patient Education for all prototype drugs included in each module. Most of the exam
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




questions will focus on the prototype drugs presented in each module. You also need to know about the drug class
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




across the life span. There is content in each module that discusses use of each drug class in pediatric, pregnancy,
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




breastfeeding, and older adult populations. You will not necessarily need to know an exact dose for prescribing on all
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




of the prototype drugs, but if faculty stresses a certain dose in a lecture, you will be responsible for this information.

When attempting to narrow down the content, consider what you need to know to be a safe prescriber. Also, listen for

tips and what is emphasized in the lecture. This study guide is intended to help you focus your studies, but it does not

include a list of all necessary details about each individual drug. If any evidenced base guidelines were presented in
n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8 n8




the module, I would be sure to review what information was discussed by faculty in the lecture.
