Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics to Special Populations

There are various considerations that must be taken into account when initiating drug therapies in a geriatric,
pediatric, or pregnant patient. In a well-developed essay, discuss pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics that
apply when initiating one particular drug (your selection) in a geriatric, pediatric, or pregnant patient. Be sure to
address information learned regarding the musculoskeletal and optic systems in your selected patient
population.
Include the following elements in your essay:
an introduction statement presenting your population choice and drug,
discussion of the population and pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics applicable to the selected drug,
considerations regarding the effects of these factors on the musculoskeletal and optic systems, and
a conclusion that includes a “take-home” statement of what you learned.
