Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 6th edition

Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach offers a holistic, simplified approach that links pharmacology essentials to therapeutic goals. Instead of surveying drugs in isolation, the authors place them in the context of body system and disease to draw connections between A&P and drug interventions. Mechanism in Action animations walk you step by step through drug actions and pharmacological effects. Discussion of alternative therapies, as well as cultural and lifespan considerations, help explain certain clinical decisions.

For the 6th Edition, 40 new drugs, drug classes, indications and therapies approved since the last edition have been added. A new feature, Applying Research to Nursing Practice, shows how current medical research is used to improve patient teaching.
