This video compares and contrasts the
terms pathogenicity and virulence and
how bacteria are classified. It looks at the
terms bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal
used in control of bacterial growth curve
and with specific example, explains how
resistance can develop to an anti-infective
drug. The lecture describes the nurse's
role in the pharmacologic management of
bacterial infections. It explains the
importance of culture and sensitivity
testing to anti-infective chemotherapy and
mechanisms of development and
symptoms of superinfections caused by
anti-infective therapy. For each of the drug
classes listed in Drugs at a Glance, it
explains the mechanism of drug action,
primary actions, and important adverse
effects. The video categorizes
antibacterial drugs based on their
classifications and mechanisms of action
and explains how the pharmacotherapy of
tuberculosis differs from that of other
infections. Students learn how to use the
nursing process to care for patients who

thromboembolic disorders that are
indications for coagulation modifiers. It
identifies the primary mechanisms by
which coagulation-modifier drugs act and
laboratory testing of coagulation
parameters is used to monitor
anticoagulant pharmacotherapy. For each
of the classes listed in Drugs at a Glance,
it explains the mechanism of drug action,
primary actions, and important adverse
effects. The video categorizes

of dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain.
The lecture describes the nurse's role in
the pharmacological management of
Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's
disease. For each of the drug classes
listed in Drugs at a Glance, it explains the

and important adverse effects. Secondly, it
describes signs and symptoms of
Alzheimer's disease and explains theories
about why these symptoms develop and
the goals of pharmacotherapy and the
efficacy of existing medications. The
lecture categorizes drugs used in the
treatment of Alzheimer's disease and
Parkinson's disease based on their
classifications and mechanisms of action
and the nursing process to care for

DRUGS DRUGS FOR
FOR
DYSRHYTHMIAS
YSRHYTHMIAS
This video relates how rhythm
abnormalities can affect cardiac function; it
illustrates the flow of electrical impulses
through the normal heart and classifies
dysrhythmias based on their locations and
types of rhythm abnormality. The lecture
explains how an action potential is
controlled by the flow of sodium,
potassium, and calcium ions across the
myocardial membrane and the importance
of non-pharmacologic therapies in the
treatment of dysrhythmias. Students learn
the primary mechanisms by which
antidysrhythmic drugs act and the nurse's
role in the pharmacologic management of
patients with dysrhythmias. The
representative drug examples for each of
the drug classes listed in Drugs at a
Glance, and explanation of the
mechanism of action, primary actions, and
important adverse effects, category
antidysrhythmic drugs based on their
classification and mechanism of action are
discusses. Students learn how to use the
