Use APA formatting

Cite your sources, Lilley text, ATI- Pharm book, do not cite PowerPoints from lecture.

This should be in the form of a narrative/paper, this is not just answering the questions like a pass to class!

If a section does not apply to your drug, simply state that. For example, “There are no administration considerations for this drug.” But remember, this will be a rare occurrence!

Please submit your paper in the appropriate dropbox and the PowerPoint slides in their separate dropbox. Make sure your slides are uploaded in PowerPoint format!

We will be using the slides as part of the review for the final exam- their quality and accuracy are essential!
