Description
Basic Pharmacology for Nurses, 15th edition, is a contemporary classic nursing pharmacology textbook known for its impeccably accurate
drug content and its practical applications of the nursing process. A consistent emphasis on health promotion through medication monitoring
and patient education is a hallmark of the book. Introductory units ground the reader in basic principles of pharmacology and medication
administration, and subsequent body-system units apply the nursing process to every major disorder and drug class to promote safe medication
administration.
