Providing a framework for safe and effective drug administration, Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology, 7th Edition helps you understand the principles of pharmacology and avoid making medication errors. It promotes safety by showing how drugs and drug classes work, rather than asking you to simply memorize information about individual drugs. Safety is also emphasized with a section dedicated to math review and drug dosage calculation. This edition includes updated drug information, new review questions for the NCLEX examination, and a succinct, evidence-based approach to pharmacology. Written by nationally known nurse practitioner Marilyn Edmunds, Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology highlights "must-know" drugs -- the ones seen most often in clinical practice.A focus on understanding drug classes rather than memorizing individual drugs helps you understand the actions and uses of drug classes and provides a framework for safe, effective practice as new drugs are introduced and as existing drugs are withdrawn from the market. Coverage of math review and medication administration includes three chapters on math review and drug dosage calculation, to promote safe drug administration. Unique! 30 must-know drugs -- those most commonly prescribed -- are highlighted with icons and listed inside the cover for quick reference. Readability and clarity is attained through the use of a simplified vocabulary and shorter sentencesmake the content easier than ever to learn. Vivid, full-color design includes 200 drawings and photographs. Do Not Confuse drug list is is located on the inside cover for quick reference, helping you avoid drug errors with common look-alike or sound-alike drug names. Consistent chapter format covers each drug class with Action, Uses, Adverse Reactions, Drug and Food Interactions, and Nursing Implications and Patient Teaching sections. Application of the nursing process to each drug class includes Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation, and Patient and Family Teaching. Key content is highlighted, as in all of Elsevier's LPN Threads textbooks, with features such as Clinical Goldmines, Clinical Pitfalls, Memory Joggers, Lifespan Considerations, and Complementary and Alternative Therapies boxes. Case studies in all drug chapters offer practice in applying information to realistic clinical situations and help you prepare for the NCLEX-PN Examination. Drug Calculation Review questions reinforce your drug calculation and math skills in the context of clinical practice. Critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter promote higher-level thinking skills while reinforcing key concepts. Canadian drug icons identify trade-name drugs available only in Canada. Glossary includes all of the book's key terms plus additional terminology that will be helpful in clinical practice, with audio pronunciations on the Evolve companion website. NEW! Get Ready for the NCLEX¨ Examination! section at the end of each chapter integrates new Review Questions for the NCLEX Examination with the popular Drug Calculation Review, and revises Key Points, Case Studies, and Critical Thinking Questions. NEW! Additional illustrations in the book and animations on the Evolve companion website help to clarify difficult concepts. Updated drug information emphasizes medication safety and evidence-based practice.

Bought this book for my LPN class and although we didn't use it a ton, it has a lot of interesting information in it about herbal medications, along with very helpful information for various medications you will encounter as a nurse. Helpful book for understanding medications.
This book goes over the basics, and without all of the wordy, boring information that other pharmacology texts have. I was searching for some time for a book that did not bore me to tears with needless information, and this was it. In fact, I used it more than the regular nightmare text we were assigned to read. Get it, even a used one, and learn those meds!
I am very pleased with my purchase! The book is brand new, wrapped and the CD is included and the package has never been opened! I saved money by ordering from this seller on opposed to buying it at my school's bookstore. I am impressed with the amount of time it took for my package to arrive, especially considering it's the week before Christmas!! Only a couple of business days:)
**BUYER BEWARE** 5/11/11 This is an update to my original review. IF YOU DECIDE TO WRITE A TRUTHFUL REVIEW HOW HORRIBLE THIS BOOK IS, THE AUTHOR WILL WRITE NASTY THINGS ABOUT YOU WHICH TRULY SHOWS HOW MUCH THE AUTHOR CARES ABOUT HER IMAGE RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL BOOK CONTENT. WRITE A BETTER BOOK IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRITICISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Original review:I purchased this book for class, not by choice. This book sucks!!!!!! I can't follow it AT ALL. The examples it gives in the chapters are not clear. For example, it doesnt tell you "..we want mL/hr at the end" i actualyl don't know what it wants!!!!!! Don't buy it. I've only opened this book twice, and I'm already trying to get rid of it.
This book was a really good deal for me and I am glad that I bought it. I needed for class and I live half around the globe all the way here in American Samoa and these guys packed it great.
Book arrived in condition stated and has worked well for me. only problem was that a new edition came out after I ordered this and I couldn't exchange it for the newer addition.
It is the good book. I found out that this book will give what I want to know about the pharmacology. Thanks to that I order, and I got it the right book and the right time.
Great book, very easy to follow, and unlike some of my other books, it has held up to it's use. No problems with the spine or highlighting.
