PHT 182 - Drug Therapy II 4 Credits, 4 Contact Hours 4 lecture periods 0 lab periods
Continuation of PHT 172 . Relationship between anatomy and physiology, disease states, and pharmaceutical therapy. Includes origins, dosage forms, indications, actions, routes of administration and side effects of both prescription and non-prescription drugs used in diseases of the cardiovascular, circulatory, renal, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and integumentary systems.
Prerequisite(s): PHT 172
Course Learning Outcomes
- Identify characteristics of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular, circulatory, renal, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and integumentary systems.
- Identify disorders and disease states of the cardiovascular, circulatory, renal, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and integumentary systems.
- Identify and list drugs needed to treat specific disorders and disease states of the cardiovascular, circulatory, renal, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and integumentary systems.
