Description
Written by and for nurse practitioners, this practical textbook focuses on what primary care providers need to learn and practice drug
therapy. With an overall emphasis on patient teaching and health promotion, you will learn how to provide effective patient teaching
about medications and how to gain patient compliance. Drug coverage focuses on ?key drugs? rather than ?prototype drugs,? so you can
find important information about the most commonly used drugs rather than the first drug in each class. You will also find discussions
on the legal and professional issues unique to nurse practitioners and other primary care providers. The 3rd edition also features an
expanded emphasis on established clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based practice, plus two new chapters that cover drugs for
ADHD and drugs for dementia.
