Abstract:
Escape the Pharmacy is a fast-moving collaborative challenge for students in nursing and other health professions programs requiring coursework in pharmacology. Teams of students compete to solve a series of puzzles that reinforce knowledge of safe analgesic administration. Information regarding maximum dosing and adverse effects of opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and acetaminophen is included, as well as content on types of pain receptors. Recognition of opioid toxicity and symptoms of oversedation are all part of the challenge of escaping the pharmacy.
