Description:

This undergraduate nursing pharmacology text is designed to "place the patient" at the center of all drug and drug administration decisions and considerations. Drug Therapy in Nursing, Third Edition, is unique in that it presents a totally nursing-focused framework to support the teaching and learning of nursing pharmacology. Learning the pharmacology facts about different drug prototypes is only half of the knowledge nursing students need. Because they're learning to be nurses, they must understand how to apply this knowledge to patient care. Systematic organization, prototype approach, and effective pedagogy present nursing pharmacology in a readable and clinically applicable style.
