Here’s the in-depth information students need to be safe and effective prescribers of medications.
This exceptional text builds students’ knowledge of pharmacology by first providing an overview of pharmacologic principles and then teaches them how to apply those principles to clinical practice.
Updated to reflect the most current standards of practice, the 5th Edition continues to focus on the medications and prescribing applications for conditions most relevant to Advanced Practice Nurse Prescribers, exploring diagnostic and treatment reasoning and rational drug selection to build a strong knowledge base.
APPLYING—Case Studies
Online case studies for each body system let students exercise their clinical reasoning skills by applying what they’ve learned in the textbook to real-world scenarios. Each online case begins with a chief complaint, a brief patient history, and key assessment data. Each case is then followed by 4-5 questions that test the student’s knowledge of concepts such as the appropriate prescription for the patient, recommendations for patient monitoring, and the ideal patient education. Instructors are provided with model answers for each of the questions associated with the case.
For instructors, it provides the real-time information they need to monitor, track, and assess their class’ vital signs, their students’ mastery of the content and their clinical decision-making skills. They’ll be able to easily identify the areas in which students are struggling and intervene quickly in class and on assignments to ensure that they succeed.
