Journal/article review | Nursing homework help

 

Getting Started

As a prescriber, you will be bombarded with information about new medications and may even feel pressure to prescribe them.  This information and pressure may come from drug reps, journal advertisements, and even patients.  The journal club/article review is meant to help you learn to make your own judgments regarding the importance of a new medication (or new indication).

Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:

  • Take a primary research study and make an informed decision regarding the significance of the study.
  • Apply study results to practice.

Resources

  • Textbook: Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Providers
  • Lexi-Comp (available via Up-to-Date) or other suitable drug/disease reference.
  • Suggested treatment guidelines/recommendations for this workshop
  • Chosen article and any other necessary references
