Preparing the assignment
Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
1. Log into ATI and select the “Learn” tab. Click on “Pharmacology Made Easy.” In the box that opens, select the
following modules to be completed in the weeks they are assigned. Each module and post quiz is worth up to 25
points (25 points/50%):
• Introduction to Pharmacology and 25-item quiz
• Neurologic system and 25-item quiz
• Cardiovascular system and 25-item quiz
• Endocrine System and 25-item quiz
2. Actual points earned will be based on the percentage earned on first attempt multiplied by total points possible.
• Example: The assignment is worth 25 points, and you get 50% of the questions correct, you will earn 12.5
rounded to 13 points (50% X 25 divided by 100% = 12.5 rounded to 13).
• If you score less than 79% on the first attempt, you must submit a 150 word reflection on three clinical
points that can be used in nursing practice using information from the module (if reflection not submitted,
you will not receive points for additional attempts).
• You may retake the module and test once, after a 24-hour lock-out between attempts to score additional
points as follows (Note: total score with additional points cannot be greater than 100%):
Additional percentage score (based on second attempt). Score between 90-100%, gain an additional 5% to
first score. Score between 79-89%, gain an additional 3% to first score.
