Neuroscience-Based Nomenclature for Psychotropic Medication.

Neuroscience-based nomenclature (NbN) is a classification system for psychotropic medications based on pharmacology and mode of action. Rather than the current naming system, which is primarily based on a single indication or its chemical structure, NbN uses current scientific knowledge that provides a pharmacological rationale for medication choice. NbN limits confusion, especially when prescribing to children, as the medications are named and described in a way that is not stigmatizing or misleading.

Student Response Systems in Online Nursing Education.

Student response systems (SRSs) can be used in online nursing courses to promote student engagement with the course content, their classmates, and the instructor.
