Asthma Case Study
Assignment
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to apply the principles of pharmacology to support clinical decisions when prescribing for common acute or chronic diseases. Students will synthesize and apply current knowledge regarding pharmacology to an applied case after exploring the use of a clinical practice guideline to treat asthma.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
· CO 1: Identify the most commonly prescribed agents in the major drug classes. (POs 1, 2)
· CO 2: Make appropriate evidence-based therapeutic treatment decisions for individual patients utilizing drugs from the major drug classes. (POs 1, 2)
· CO 3: Apply knowledge of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomics in prescribing patient treatment. (POs 1, 2)
· CO 4: Distinguish internal and external environment factors affecting drug action, reaction, efficacy, and interaction. (POs 1, 2)
· CO 5: Identify client indicators of therapeutic, ineffective, adverse responses and side effects to drug therapy. (POs 1, 2)

Learning OutcomeLate Penalty Deductions
Students are expected to submit
assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due
date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible
for that assignment for each day the assignment is late up to 3 days.
Assignments will not be accepted after three days late, and a score of zero
will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not
considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.
