Reinforce your understanding of pharmacology with this practical
workbook! Corresponding to the chapters in Lehne's Pharmacology for
Nursing Care, 11th Edition, this study guide provides a
comprehensive review of all the material included in the textbook.
Case studies, critical thinking study questions, prioritization and
delegation questions, and patient teaching scenarios help you apply
your knowledge to patient care and patient education. With NCLEX
(R) Examination-style review questions providing plenty of practice
with nursing pharmacology, this study guide prepares you for
success on the NCLEX Exam. Reinforcement of key information equips
you for success on the NCLEX (R) Examination and for patient safety
(a QSEN core competency) in clinical practice. NCLEX
Examination-style questions include multiple-choice,
multiple-select, and alternate-item formats, promoting learner
engagement and preparing you for success on the NCLEX Exam and for
safe clinical practice. Three-part chapter organization separates
content into 1) study questions, 2) NCLEX review and application
questions, and 3) dosage calculation questions. Prioritization and
delegation questions emphasize skills related to prioritization and
delegation, both of which are increasingly being tested on the
NCLEX Exam, and are highlighted by special icons. Focus on
implications of drugs and drug classes for patient care includes
activities and questions that are designed for you to answer "How
do the drugs work in the body?" and "How do these drug actions
impact patient care?" Application- and analysis-level questions are
highlighted by special icons, and ask you to integrate other
nursing knowledge such as developmental considerations, laboratory
values, and symptoms of adverse effects. Detailed rationales for
all prioritization questions are included in the answer key and
include explanations for both correct and incorrect responses.
Answer key is included in the back of the print study guide. NEW!
Updated content ensures that information is consistent with the
textbook, and reflects the latest FDA drug approvals, withdrawals,
and therapeutic uses. NEW! Next Generation NCLEX (R) (NGN)-style
case study questions are included to help you prepare for clinical
success.
Trust Lehne's to make pharmacology more approachable! Known for its
clear explanations of drug prototypes and how they work, Lehne's
Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 11th Edition provides a solid
understanding of key drugs and their implications for nursing care.
A perennial student favorite, this book simplifies complex
pharmacology concepts, using large and small print to distinguish
need-to-know drug content from the material that's merely nice to
know. It also includes in-depth coverage of physiology,
pathophysiology and drug therapy. Written by noted nursing
educators Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum and Laura Rosenthal, this
text helps you understand and apply pharmacology principles as
opposed to simply memorizing drug facts. Clear, engaging writing
style simplifies complex concepts, making difficult pharmacology
content not only understandable but actually enjoyable. Prototype
Drugs approach focuses on representative drugs that characterize
all members of a given drug group, so that you can apply your
understanding to related drugs currently on the market as well as
drugs that will be released in the future. Nursing implications of
drug therapy are integrated throughout the text to reinforce the
integral relationship between drug therapy and nursing care, and
also summarized in Summary of Major Nursing Implications sections
at the end of chapters. Special Interest Topic boxes examine the
everyday impact of pharmacology with vignettes including Medication
Overuse Headache: Too Much of a Good Thing and Antibiotics in
Animal Feed: Dying for a Hamburger and Chicken Nuggets. Large print
highlights essential, need-to-know information, and small print
indicates nice-to-know information. Safety Alerts call out
important safety concerns related to contraindications, adverse
effects, and more. Patient-Centered Care Across the Life Span
tables highlight safe and appropriate care for patients throughout
their lives, from infancy to older adulthood. Concise drug summary
tables present key information for individual drugs, including drug
class, generic and trade names, dosages, routes, and indications.
NEW! Thoroughly updated drug content reflects the latest FDA drug
approvals, withdrawals, and therapeutic uses, with revisions to the
corresponding nursing content. NEW chapters include Genetic and
Genomic Considerations, Muscarinic Antagonists, and Complementary
and Alternative Therapy.
Lehne's Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurses and
Physician Assistants, 2nd Edition builds on the same foundation of
clearly explained, up-to-date, and clinically current content as
the trusted Lehne undergraduate text, while focusing on the
information that advanced practice nurses and Physician Assistants
specifically need for safe and effective prescribing. Three
introductory chapters provide foundational content for new
prescribers in the areas of prescriptive authority, rational drug
selection, prescription writing, and promoting positive outcomes of
drug therapy. Core drug chapters are focused on the drugs that
prescribers will most commonly see in clinical practice.
Introductory chapters tailored to the specific needs of prescribers
cover topics such as prescriptive authority, rational drug
selection and prescription writing, and promoting positive outcomes
of drug therapy. Carefully focused pharmacotherapeutic content
reflects the drugs most commonly seen and used by prescribers, with
emphasis not on the first drug discovered or developed in each
class but on the agents most often used today. Primary care drugs
are addressed first in each chapter as appropriate, followed by
acute care drugs. UNIQUE! Prescriber-focused pedagogical aids
further reinforce the most important information for prescribers.
Integrated coverage of Canadian trade names appears throughout the
text and is highlighted with a familiar maple-leaf icon. Integrated
coverage of interprofessional collaboration addresses the growing
global interest in interprofessional collaboration and incorporates
opportunities for interprofessional collaborative practice
throughout. NEW! Genetic and Genomic Considerations chapter
addresses our growing understanding of the importance of genetics
and genomics in pharmacotherapeutic management of disease. NEW!
Immunomodulators chapter covers the growing role of this innovative
therapy in cancer treatment. NEW! Increased emphasis on the needs
of prescribers includes new Key Prescribing Considerations
specifically tailored for advanced practice nurses (APNs) and
Physician Assistants (PAs), revised introductory disease content,
and refocused illustrations. NEW! Expanded delineation of acute
care drugs now extends to the cardiac, neurologic, hypertension,
and male and female reproductive chapters. NEW! Significantly
revised content on laboratory drug monitoring has been refocused on
the needs of APNs and PAs NEW! Updated content on drug legislation,
opioid addiction, and legalized marijuana addresses these key areas
of change for prescribers. NEW! Illustrations, tables, and boxes
have been substituted for text to highlight treatment guidelines
(including decision-making algorithms) and drug mechanisms of
action. NEW! Improved legibility includes the elimination of "small
type" and a more user-friendly graphic design. NEW! Updated content
covers the areas of drug legislation, opioid addiction, marijuana.
