. . . CORRESPONDENCE COURSE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0913 EDITION 100 DRUG DOSAGE AND THERAPY The administration of drugs is one of the most important and exacting duties performed in caring for sick and injured patients. The appropriate drug given in the correct dosage will very often hasten a patient's recovery. On the other hand, an inappropriate drug or dosage may worsen a patient's condition or even result in his death. The enlisted person charged with the administration of drugs is therefore faced with a grave responsibility, whether medical supervision is immediately available or not. The purpose of this subcourse is to familiarize you with basic drugs that are standard for the U.S. Army. Discussion includes the actions, clinical uses, administration, untoward effects, cautions, and contraindications in the use of these drugs, as well as their forms of issue. ---------------------- Length: 237 Pages Estimated Hours to Complete: 16 Format: PDF file Size: 2.4 MB ---------------------- Subcourse Components: Lesson 1.
