The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion01:26

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...
Pharmaceutical Equivalents01:26

Pharmaceutical Equivalents

As defined by regulatory standards, pharmaceutical equivalents require generic drug products to have identical dosage forms and chemically identical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). They must adhere to compendial or applicable standards for potency, content uniformity, disintegration times, and dissolution rates. In the case of modified-release dosage forms, variations in drug content are permissible as long as the delivered amount remains consistent with the innovator drug product.
Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence01:19

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

Pharmaceutical products contain more than just the active drug; they also contain various excipients such as binders, solubilizers, stabilizers, preservatives, and other elements. In some cases, impurities or contaminants might be present. Traditionally, quality control in pharmaceuticals has primarily focused on the analysis of the active drug, often overlooking the impact of these additional components. The recent issue with heparin contamination by over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a...
Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...
Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution01:17

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight, compared...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Professional Competency Assessment

Background:

  • Expectations for entry-level practitioners are crucial for effective pharmacy training.
  • Understanding variations in these expectations across different pharmacist subgroups is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate variability in pharmacists' expectations for entry-level practitioner competencies.
  • To determine if pharmacists' degree, practice setting, or preceptor experience influences these expectations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of rating scale data from the 2009 National Pharmacy Practice Survey.
  • Evaluation of associations between pharmacist demographics/roles and ratings of 43 competency statements relevant to the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX).

Main Results:

  • Pharmacists with Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degrees rated competencies as more critical than those with Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees.
  • Minor differences in ratings were observed between inpatient and outpatient settings, but were not statistically significant across all practice settings.
  • No significant differences in criticality ratings were found between preceptor and non-preceptor pharmacists.

Conclusions:

  • Pharmacists demonstrate substantial agreement on entry-level practitioner competencies, irrespective of practice site or professional role.
  • This agreement provides valuable insights for educators and regulators shaping future pharmacist training.
  • Aligning pharmacy education with professional needs is critical as the field moves towards patient-centered clinical practice.
