Module 084 submodulesComprehensive review

Virology, Oncology, and Toxicology

Complete the sequence with antiviral therapy, cancer treatment, supportive care, poisoning, and antidote reasoning.

01

Recognize the goals and constraints of antiviral therapy.

02

Connect cancer biology to treatment strategy.

03

Anticipate treatment-related toxicity and supportive needs.

04

Prioritize stabilization and toxidrome recognition in poisoning.

08.01

Antiviral Therapy

Antiviral therapy targets stages of viral replication and is shaped by timing, resistance, organ function, interactions, and the host immune response.

What to learn
  • Viral entry, replication, protease, and polymerase targets
  • Influenza and herpesvirus therapy
  • Hepatitis treatment principles
  • Timing, renal function, and interactions
08.02

HIV Pharmacotherapy

HIV care uses combination therapy to achieve durable viral suppression, preserve immune function, prevent resistance, and reduce transmission.

What to learn
  • Antiretroviral targets and combination therapy
  • Viral load and CD4 monitoring
  • Resistance, adherence, and interactions
  • Prevention, prophylaxis, and continuity of therapy
08.03

Oncology and Supportive Care

Cancer treatment combines disease biology, intent, regimen design, organ function, dose-limiting toxicity, supportive care, and patient goals.

What to learn
  • Cytotoxic, targeted, hormonal, and immune therapy
  • Curative, adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and palliative intent
  • Myelosuppression, nausea, infection, and tumor lysis
  • Body surface area, cycles, safe handling, and supportive care
08.04

Toxicology and Antidotes

Poisoning management begins with stabilization, exposure history, toxidrome recognition, targeted testing, decontamination when appropriate, supportive care, and selective antidote use.

What to learn
  • Airway, breathing, circulation, and glucose
  • Cholinergic, anticholinergic, opioid, sympathomimetic, and sedative toxidromes
  • Decontamination and enhanced elimination
  • Common antidotes and monitoring
