  1. NATAEducational CompetenciesPharmacology Malissa Martin, Ed.D., ATC, CSCS Director Athletic Training Education Middle Tennessee State University

  2. Objectives • To review the cognitive pharmacology competencies • To review the psychomotor pharmacology competencies • To demonstrate selected psychomotor pharmacology competencies

  3. On-Line References • www.pharmacyonline.com • www.pharmacyandyou.org • www.healthwise.org

  4. Cognitive Competencies • Recognizes differences in the legal regulation of OTC, Rx and classified pharmaceuticals • Recalls and access the laws and procedures associated with the: • Storage • Transportation • Dispensing • Recording of OTC and Rx drugs *Controlled Substance Act, Drug Schedules

  5. Cognitive Competencies • Identifies the role of FDA for approving and recalling drugs • Identifies appropriate terminology and abbreviations in the Rx and dispensing of medications • Identifies common resources used to identify: • Indications • Contraindications • Precautions • Adverse reactions of OTC and Rx medications

  6. Cognitive Competencies • Recalls how potency and expiration affects drug dose protocols • Identifies common methods used to administer medications • Relates relationship of generic to brand name drugs • Describes the kinetic process of: • Absorption • Distribution • Metabolism • Elimination

  7. Cognitive Competencies • Describes how physical activity may influence a drug’s therapeutic effect • Illustrates general concepts of dissolution, bioavailability and bioequivalence • Recognizes general action of biotransformation and biochemical reactions that occur during drug absorption • Recognizes acute and delayed adverse drug reactions

  8. Cognitive Competencies • Describes potential risks of co-interaction when taking drugs simultaneously • Recognizes differences between cortical and anabolic steroids/other androgenics • Identifies the usage patterns, general effects and long term reactions of ergogenic aids

  9. Cognitive Competencies • Describes general indications, contraindications and adverse reactions of OTC and RX • NSAIDs and antiarthritic medications • Analgesics • Local anesthetics • Respiratory medications • Antibiotics • Anaphylaxis medications • Gastrointestinal medications • Beta blockers and antihypertensives • Topical medications

  10. Quiz Matching 1. NSAID Voltarin 2. Anti-fungal Parafon Forte 3. Anti-diarrheal Motrin 4. Antibiotic Amoxicillin 5. Muscle relaxant Micitin 6. Antiasthmatic Albuterol 7. Antihistamine Depomedrol 8. Antipyretic Clamine lotion 9. Anitprurite Keopectate 10. Corticosteroid Lomotil

  11. Psychomotor Domain • Employs the use of a PDR or other medication references • Follows federal, state and local regulations regarding • Storage • Transportation • Dispensing/administration • Recording medications • Documents tracking of medications

  12. Psychomotor Domain • Replicates procedures for storage and inventory of medications • Reviews and adheres to policies and procedure manual as it relates to medications • Replicates procedures for using an Epi-Pen • Replicates procedures for using a dose-meter inhaler

  13. Types of Inhalers • Metered dose inhaler (MDI): must be used correctly to be affective • Autohaler (pressurized): inhalation releases the drug • Dry powder inhaler: not pressurized (diskus) not suggested for physically active individuals • Spacers: must be used when using corticosteroid drug within an inhaler

  14. How do you know if your canister is full? • Floating weights

  15. Using a Metered Dose Inhaler • Remove cap and hold upright • Shake inhaler • Tilt head back slightly and breath out a normal expiration (do not force air out) • Position inhaler 1-2 inches from the open mouth • Press down on inhaler once to release medication as person starts to breath in slowly • Breathe in slowly taking 3-5 seconds • Hold breath for 10 sec to allow medication to reach lungs • Repeat puffs as directed waiting one min between puffs • Spacers are recommended

  16. Spacers

  17. Peak Flow Meters • Measure how fast air is being force from lungs • Personal best is used to gauge the monitor • Keep daily records • Take measurement same time each day • If measurement is 50-80% of personal best = initiate action plan • Less than 50% = quick relief and or EMS • Should always stay within 80% of personal best

  18. Epi Pen Auto Injector • The EpiPen Auto-Injector is a disposable drug delivery system with a spring-activated, concealed needle. It is designed for emergency self-administration to provide rapid, convenient first-aid for individuals sensitive to potentially fatal allergic reactions. • Delivers epinephrine • 2 Strengths • EpiPen Junior (up to 33 pounds) • EpiPen Adult

  19. Epi Pen Application • Check date for expiration • Check fluid for cloudiness or discoloration • Clean injected area with alcohol • Remove cap • Inject into site • Hold for 10 seconds • Discard using Universal Precautions • EpiPen Certification*

  20. Success….. • Is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed……. Booker T. Washington
