Organized by body systems, this heavily illustrated book organizes essential nursing pharmacology information into focused, easy-to-learn steps. Building key concepts upon each other, the text gives students a solid foundation of understanding. Easy to understand drug prototype boxes are integrated throughout the book as well as integrated content summaries. Contains more images depicting drug actions than any of the book's competitors. Includes the popular and proven "Focus on" theme for drug use across the lifespan, cultural and gender considerations, evidence-based practice, patient teaching, herbal and alternative therapies and dosage calculation; including "Focus on Safe Medication Administration;" and a "Drugs in Focus" table for each classification of drugs. Focused content and focused features equal a focused student. Drug discussions include therapeutic actions and indications, pharmacokinetics, contraindications and cautions and adverse effects. Detailed rationales are presented throughout. Each chapter opens with Learning Objectives and a Glossary of Key Terms, and ends with NCLEX-style questions, and contains a case study-based critical thinking exercise that sets up a situation, shows critical thinking, and then presents a discussion and case-based nursing care guide. Features like this make the book an essential teaching tool!"--Publisher's Website. 650 0 $a Pharmacology. 650 0 $a Nursing. 650 12 $a Pharmaceutical Preparations. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004364 650 22 $a Drug Therapy. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004358 650 22 $a Pharmacological Phenomena. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000069437 650 7 $a Nursing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01041731 650 7 $a Pharmacology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060259 655 2 $a Nurses Instruction. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020488 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1702/2016004466-d.html 941 $a 2 952 $l I6OX771 $d 20220719011237.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190514013507.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9C7C03A760D11E987FF680497128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
