Goal and Learning Outcomes

The goal of this program is to help advanced practice nurses (nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists) fulfill the American Nurses Credentialing Center 25-contact hour pharmacotherapeutics requirement for certification. After studying the information presented here, you will be able to:

  • Describe 15 medications, including the dosing, adverse effects, clinical uses, and interactions
  • State “black box” warnings for the medications
  • Discuss the use of 15 medications in your practice
  • State 15 new “APN tips” you’ll apply to your practice
  • Identify special considerations for 15 medications
 
This CE course provides information about off-label use of products that are used for a purpose other than that for which they were approved by the FDA.
