The role of a clinician is to treat and care for patients. Paients will vary with different backgrounds and different diagnosies. Depending on the patients situation, they may be in need of medication or perharps they will already be on one or several medications. Understanding pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics would make one a better clinician because they would be able to take the information of the type of medication(s) the client is taking and assess the patients physical and emotional responses to those medications. “The opportunity, as well as the responsibility, exists for all clinicians to be involved in medication decisions as appropriate to their discipline” (Kindle Locations 1080-1081).

In order to provide a high standard of care for the patient, knowledge on medications would be crucial.
