The Gastrointestinal Drugs Compass Cards + Audio Companion give nursing students a focused visual and auditory way to review twelve commonly studied medications affecting the digestive system.
The 12-page printable Compass Card set includes:
- Omeprazole
- Famotidine
- Sucralfate
- Ondansetron
- Metoclopramide
- Polyethylene glycol 3350
- Docusate
- Bisacodyl
- Loperamide
- Lactulose

Each medication card organizes essential information into consistent study categories:
- Drug class and prototype
- Primary purpose
- Mechanism of action
- Nursing assessments
- Major risks
- Patient teaching
The accompanying Audio Companion connects the medications by clinical purpose rather than presenting them as twelve unrelated drug profiles. Students hear the differences between acid suppression and mucosal protection, nausea control and improved gastric motility, and the multiple approaches used to manage constipation and diarrhea.
Important safety connections include gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, QT prolongation, neurologic reactions, renal impairment, medication timing, and formulation-specific instructions.
Students can use the printable cards for focused review and the audio lesson while driving, walking, exercising, or completing everyday tasks. Together, the resources support visual and auditory learning while strengthening medication recognition and nursing-priority recall.
This is a digital study companion. No physical product will be shipped. The Compass Cards are provided as a downloadable PDF, and the Audio Companion is provided as a downloadable MP3. This resource supports nursing education and does not replace assigned textbooks, medication references, facility policies, or clinical judgment.
