Now in four-colour, the fully revised and updated new edition of this clinical pharmacology textbook presents pharmacologic principles in a readily accessible format. It combines pharmacology, drug calculation, and administration for both adult and pediatric patients into one comprehensive resource. Drugs are presented in a prototype approach with many charts providing quick access to generic and brand names, dosages, uses and considerations, as well as the nursing process in drug therapy. Features: * Lists helpful Internet sites inside the front cover. * Offers new case studies with critical thinking questions at the end of all clinical chapters. * Features a new, full colour design with all-new illustrations, photographs, and drug label reproductions. * Includes a comprehensive, 100-page dosage calculation review, which covers basic math, all four methods of dosage calculation (formula, ratio/proportion, dimensional analysis, and desired/have), and dosage calculations in various settings using different routes of administration. * Relates nursing care to drug therapy by using a nursing process framework that includes discussion of client teaching techniques, cultural considerations, and a list of potential nursing diagnoses. * Provides an overview of normal anatomy and physiology at the beginning of each drug therapy unit.
