Pharmacology Lab

Safe medication management is one of the most critical responsibilities of a registered nurse. The Pharmacology Lab at PINC is dedicated to teaching students the science of drugs, precise dosage calculations, administration routes, and strategies to prevent medical errors in busy hospital environments.

Key Features & Facilities:

• Drug Sample Repository: An organized display of common pharmaceutical preparations, including oral tablets, syrups, IV fluids, emergency ampoules, and topical ointments.
• Dosage Calculation Practice Units: Specialized learning charts and software for mastering mathematical drug dose calculations based on patient weight and age.
• Administration Equipment: Syringes, infusion pumps, nebulizers, inhalers, and IV administration sets for practicing correct delivery techniques.
• Adverse Reaction & Emergency Charts: Comprehensive guidelines on drug interactions, side effects, and emergency antidote procedures.

Practical Learning Outcomes:
Students learn the "Rights of Medication Administration" (Right Patient, Right Drug, Right Dose, Right Route, Right Time), master IV flow rate calculations, practice safe drug storage, and understand how to handle emergency resuscitation drugs safely.
