The Art of Pharmacology: Creative Study Guide Posters
Creator: Brenna Quinn, PhD, RN, NCSN, CNE
Duration: 1:17
Pharmacology is often a challenging course for nursing students. Nurse educators may find study guide posters as a valuable activity to help students learn about medications and as a teaching method that is easy to implement. Students develop posters to display sample medication names, indications for use, mechanism of action, side effects, and patient teaching points/nursing considerations. They include at least 1 poem, 1 acronym, and 1 drawing to convey the drug information. Learn more about this teaching strategy by watching the video and reading the teaching tip.
