Introductory Clinical Pharmacology - Student Work Manual to 4r.e (4th ed.)

Intended for LPN/LVN nursing students, this book provides a clear and concise introduction to the basics of pharmacology and its implications and applications to nursing practice.

The drug chapters are ordered by drug classification rather than body system, and the learning objectives outlined at the beginning of the chapters.

Each drug class is discussed in terms of its actions, uses, adverse reactions, and nursing process.

An expanded nursing process section discusses nursing considerations applicable to the administration of specific classes or types of drug - assessment, diagnoses, planning and implementation, and evaluation.

Summary drug tables in each chapter list generic and trade drug names, uses, adverse reactions and usual dosage ranges.
