NUR 7560 Advanced Pharmacology Cardiovascular and Renal Systems Diseases, Hypertension and the Integumentary and Dermatologic Systems

  • Welcome to Unit 5

    Welcome to week five of Advanced Pharmacology. Drugs affecting the cardiovascular and renal systems are the focus of this week. The two systems are related physiologically, which is why they are covered in tandem. NUR 7560 Advanced Pharmacology Cardiovascular and Renal Systems Diseases, Hypertension and the Integumentary and Dermatologic Systems
    Your heart is the center of your circulatory system. To fully comprehend the drugs affecting these systems, you will need to apply the pathophysiology you learned in your prior course. Understanding cardiac functional, electrical stimulation, cardiac potential, and mechanisms to maintain blood pressure are critical.
    You will also need to be knowledgeable in homeostasis as an underlying principle to rational drug selection. The Renin-angiotensin system is of high importance in the regulation of homeostasis. Using your pathophysiology knowledge of the renal system and fluid volume will help to guide rational drug selection in addition to the topics in previous weeks of this course.
    Additionally, this week will include the integumentary and dermatological systems. While many medications are topical, there are also systemic treatments. The themes for the unit include the ongoing importance of rational drug selection based on the presentation symptoms.
    This week is foundational to your knowledge base, so please spend the time to connect your prior learning and catch up on anything you missed or review previous content and how that might impact rational drug selection for these systems.
