Description
"Real World Nursing Survival Guide: Pharmacology" is a study and review aid for nursing students struggling with this complex subject area. It offers a visual, interactive approach that clearly and engagingly explains topics, such as drug pharmacodynamics, pharmacotherapeutics, and pharmacokinetics as well as the nurse's responsibilities in determining risk factors and administering medications. The first section of the book presents content in an illustrated multi-modal approach that explains key concepts and reviews topics with a range of engaging learning activities. The last section contains 150 NCLEX review questions with answers and rationales for both correct and incorrect answers.
