Sixth Edition
By
Marilyn Edmunds, PhD, ANP/GNP, Adjunct Faculty, Johns Hopkins University, School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD
Description
Edmunds helps you understand how drugs and drug classes work, rather than simply memorizing information about individual drugs. This book
emphasizes the principles of safe drug administration, including coverage of math review and drug dosage calculation. It also covers
?must-know? drugs – the ones you'll see most often in clinical practice. A Companion CD includes Animations, Video Clips, interactive
Drug Dosage Calculators, an Audio Glossary, and an expanded collection of Review Questions for the NCLEX-PN Examination.
