Product Description:
Always a student favorite, Pharmacology for Nursing Care offers a clear approach explaining drug prototypes and how they work. It provides the background needed to understand related drugs currently on the market, as well as drugs yet to be released. In simplifying a complex subject, this text focuses on the essentials of pharmacology. Large print is used to show "need-to-know" information, and small print is used for "nice to know" material. At the end of each chapter, a summary of major nursing implications helps in applying the material to real-world situations. This edition includes a new companion CD-ROM featuring NCLEX® examination-style review questions, a variety of electronic calculators, and animations depicting drug mechanisms and effects. * Uses a prototype drug approach that places a strong emphasis on understanding over memorization equipping students with the knowledge to learn not only about related drugs currently on the market, but also about those drugs that will be released once the student begins practice. * Summaries of Major Nursing Implications at the end of each chapter provide an in-depth look at assessment, implementation, and ongoing evaluations. * Utilizes large print for essential information and small print for "nice-to-know" information to help both faculty and students focus their limited classroom and study time on understanding the essentials. * Concise drug summary tables present detailed information on individual drugs, including class, generic and trade names, dosages, routes, and indications. * Key Points at the end of each chapter summarize content in a bulleted format to help students review important concepts.

- Too large of a book!
Pharmacology... stay away! No, not really, but this book will make you want to run the other direction. For one, I have a normal sized mailbox, not one of those huge mailboxes that you could fit a truck in like the one the crazy old man has just down the block. The mail person hand delivers our mail to our door, not just driving up in a postal van or whatever it is called. Our mail lady had to come to our house before she started on her usual route just to deliver this over sized, and might I add, ... Read More

Rating: - Great book
This is a great pharmacology book. I actually read the entire book with absolutely no problem at all. It is broken down into understandable concepts. At the beginning of every chapter, Lehne does a quick review of pathophysiology regarding each drug's use.
Rating: - Easy to use
This book is a good source of information for the nursing student. The CD Rom is very helpful.

I just wish those other ... Read More
