Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach, Global Edition
Paperback Engels 2025 7e druk 9781292755632Samenvatting
For courses in pharmacology. A holistic approach to pharmacology essentials
Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach links pharmacology to therapeutic goals, to simplify concepts and add relevance for students. Instead of surveying drug interventions in isolation, the authors examine them in the context of body systems (via units) and diseases (via chapters). They also weigh the impact of alternative therapies, research findings, and cultural and lifespan factors on clinical decisions.
The 7th Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect considerable changes in pharmacology, including 120 new drugs, since the last edition. New features reflect changes in pharmacotherapeutics and advances in understanding disease.
