Educational objectives	knowledge on basic principles of pharmacology and on responsability of nurses in drug management
Prerequisites	In order to fully understand and apply most knowledge of the course it is important and useful having successfully passed the following exams: "Molecular and cellular basis of life", Anatomical-physiological basis of the human body", "Basis of nursing care".
