Pharmacology for Nurses
A Pathophysiologic Approach
Paperback Engels 2019 6e druk 9780135218334Samenvatting
For courses in pharmacology.
A holistic approach to pharmacology essentials
Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach simplifies pharmacology by linking it tightly to therapeutic goals. Instead of learning about drugs in isolation, students approach them by body systems and diseases in order to draw connections between A&P, diseases, and drug interventions. Engaging features and exercises relate pharmacology to nursing care, while discussion of alternative therapies and cultural and lifespan considerations give further context for clinical decisions. The 6th edition adds the most current pharmacotherapeutics and advances in pathophysiology.
