Podcast: Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Episode: Free Nursing Pharmacology Review Course – Pharmacokinetics – Section 1.4
Description: Pharmacokinetics explains what the body does to a medication—and for nurses, it’s essential to understanding how and why drugs work differently from one patient to the next. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion all influence onset, duration, and safety of therapy at the bedside. In this episode, we’ll break down pharmacokinetics with a nursing lens, tying key concepts to real-world scenarios like renal impairment, IV versus oral dosing, and timing of medication administration. The goal is to make pharmacokinetics practical, approachable, and directly relevant to everyday nursing care.
