NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 56: Pharmacology Principles: Pharmacokinetics, Half-Life, Therapeutic Index, and the Rights of Medication Administration

Sarah Mitchell lays out the framework behind every NCLEX drug question. She walks through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, why liver and kidney disease change the dose, half-life and the four to five half-lives to steady state, peak and trough timing, and the narrow therapeutic index drugs with their levels. She closes with the expanded rights of medication administration, special populations, order types, and worked scenarios on digoxin toxicity and trough timing.
