Pharmacology is defined as the science of drugs and their effects on the body. It involves understanding how drugs are prepared, used, and what effects they have on the patient's physical and mental well-being. Drugs aren't just limited to prescriptions—anything that enhances health, from supplements to over-the-counter medications, falls under the umbrella of pharmacology. One of the most important things to consider is what makes an ideal drug: Safety: The drug shouldn't cause more harm than good. Selectivity: We want drugs that target specific issues without harming healthy cells (e.g., antibiotics). Effectiveness: A drug should effectively treat the condition it is prescribed for. As nurses, it's essential to consider additional drug properties, such as reversibility (e.g., Narcan for opioid overdoses), predictability, and minimizing adverse effects and drug interactions. While no drug can meet all of these criteria perfectly, striving to find the best match for patients' needs is key. Furthermore, understanding pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body) and pharmacodynamics (how the drug affects the body) will ensure you understand both the mechanism and outcomes of drug therapy. These concepts are fundamental when managing medication regimens for patients and ensuring that the right amount of drug reaches the site of action. ► THE PROF 📚🏫 Dr. Rhonda Lawes is a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) and an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma College of Nursing, USA.
