Description
Always a student favorite, Pharmacology for Nursing Care offers a clear approach explaining drug prototypes and how they work. It provides
the background needed to understand related drugs currently on the market, as well as drugs yet to be released. In simplifying a complex
subject, this text focuses on the essentials of pharmacology. Large print is used to show "need-to-know" information, and small print
is used for "nice to know" material. At the end of each chapter, a summary of major nursing implications helps in applying the material
to real-world situations. This edition includes a new companion CD-ROM featuring NCLEX? examination-style review questions, a variety
of electronic calculators, and animations depicting drug mechanisms and effects.
