Patients in the acute care setting and ICU are commonly on a multitude of drugs, which can impact their ability to be mobilized safely. This course covers common cardiovascular, sedation drugs, and glycosides seen in this setting. You will learn the dose response relationship and the definition of the therapeutic index of a drug, and be able to discuss the symptoms and side effects of various kinds of diuretics, anticoagulants and BP medications as they relate to early mobilization and intervention.
