Key Features:

The 19th edition of Basic Pharmacology for Nurses incorporates valuable features and updates to enhance the learning experience:

  • Next Generation NCLEX® (NGN)-style case studies and questions are included to prepare readers for the critical thinking questions on the NGN exam. This ensures that nurses will be well-equipped to handle the challenges of the profession and stay up-to-date with the latest exam formats.
  • The book offers a concise and user-friendly format, making it easy to navigate through the content and understand the basics of medication administration and drug actions.
  • The nursing process is applied throughout the book, providing readers with an overview of general nursing care principles for each disorder, along with specific nursing considerations for drug treatment. This helps nurses approach patient care holistically and tailor drug therapy to individual needs.
  • Drug monographs are provided for each major drug class, offering comprehensive information about drug actions, uses, and therapeutic outcomes. This allows nurses to gain a deep understanding of drug therapy and make well-informed decisions.
  • The Medication Administration unit covers assessment, techniques, procedures, and documentation for the safe administration of percutaneous, enteral, and parenteral drugs. Emphasis is placed on medication safety through Medication Safety Alerts, Clinical Pitfall Boxes, and Do Not Confuse and High Alert icons.
  • Clinical Goldmine Boxes in the book highlight tips and best practices for various clinical procedures, ensuring that nurses have access to practical insights that can improve their practice.
  • Lifespan Considerations boxes draw attention to the implications of drug therapy for different population groups, including children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and older adults. This promotes a patient-centered approach and ensures that nurses are equipped to provide safe and effective care across different age groups.
  • Drug tables summarize key medications for each disorder, including generic and brand names, availability, and dosage ranges. This serves as a quick reference for nurses in their daily practice.
  • The book includes a “Get Ready for the NCLEX® Examination!” section at the end of each chapter. This section covers key points from the chapter and provides review questions to help readers prepare for both course assessments and the NCLEX Examination.
  • The Evolve website offers additional learning resources, such as video clips of medication administration, animations of drug actions, drug calculators, patient teaching guides, and Next Generation NCLEX® review questions. These resources support different learning styles and provide opportunities for self-assessment and practice.
  • The study guide, available separately, corresponds to the textbook and offers review questions and clinical scenarios. This resource can be used for self-study or in a classroom setting to reinforce understanding of nursing pharmacology.
  • The 19th edition introduces new NGN-style questions to help readers develop higher cognitive thinking skills, including clinical judgment. These questions simulate the question formats that are expected on the NGN exam, ensuring that nurses are prepared for the challenges they may face.
  • Updated content is included for newly approved and frequently prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, as well as their therapeutic uses. This ensures that nurses are equipped with the most current and relevant information in the field of pharmacology.
  • Unfolding case studies are integrated into the book to help readers apply their pharmacological knowledge to nursing practice. These case studies not only promote critical thinking but also provide valuable preparation for the Next Generation NCLEX exam.
