Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

First Pass Effect01:12

First Pass Effect

7.1K
Presystemic elimination, or the first-pass effect, is the metabolism of drugs that reduces their effective concentration at the site of action. Apart from the first-pass effect, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is also reduced by other factors, including incomplete absorption or chemical degradation of drugs.
Depending on the route of administration, drugs can be metabolized in the liver, intestine, lungs, and vasculature. Orally administered drugs are first absorbed through the...

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Presystemic Elimination01:24

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Presystemic Elimination

452
The pharmacokinetic journey of oral drugs begins with a crucial first pass through the hepatic portal system, called the first-pass effect. This first pass significantly impacts bioavailability — the proportion of a drug that enters systemic circulation and is available for therapeutic action. The primary route sees the drug absorbed by intestinal membranes and then shunted to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. Here, pre-systemic elimination occurs as drugs face metabolism or biliary...

National Nursing Organizations II

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

34.6K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Drug Dissolution: Requirements and Profile Comparison

35
The acceptance criteria for dissolution profile data are anchored in Q values, representing the percentage of drug dissolved within a specified period. This assessment unfolds in three stages:First Stage: The test passes if all six drug dosage units are equal to or greater than Q plus 5%; otherwise, the sample proceeds to the second stage.Second Stage: The average of twelve units must be equal to or greater than Q, with no unit falling below Q - 15% to pass; if not, it progresses to the final...

Summary

This study found that pharmacy schools offering North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) preparation programs did not significantly improve first-time NAPLEX pass rates. Factors like student workload and faculty burden may explain this lack of association.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Licensure Examination Preparation

Background:

  • Colleges of pharmacy offer North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) preparation programs.
  • The effectiveness of these programs on first-attempt NAPLEX pass rates is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe characteristics of current NAPLEX preparation programs.
  • To evaluate the relationship between program characteristics and first-attempt NAPLEX pass rates.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional online survey was administered to assessment leads from 143 PharmD programs.
  • Regression analyses examined associations between pass rates and program/demographic characteristics.
  • Open-ended questions identified common themes.

Main Results:

  • 86% of surveyed PharmD programs offer NAPLEX preparation.
  • Offering a preparation program showed no significant association with higher first-attempt NAPLEX pass rates.
  • Student concerns about balancing preparation with Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) and faculty workload were identified as potential reasons.

Conclusions:

  • Current NAPLEX preparation programs are not significantly associated with improved first-attempt pass rates.
  • Further research is needed to explore factors influencing program impact and student engagement.
