Emphasizing safe and effective drug administration, Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology, 8th Edition helps nursing students understand the principles of pharmacology and avoid making medication errors. It promotes safety by showing students how drugs and drug classes work, so they can understand why drugs are given, as well as when they should and should not be given. Safety is also prioritized with an interactive review of math and drug dosage calculation on the Evolve companion website. Written by nationally known journal editor and nurse practitioner Marilyn Edmunds, this text provides just the right scope of nursing pharmacology content for most LPN/LVN programs.

    • Ideal scope of content and readability for LPN/LVN programs includes basic, need-to-know pharmacology content, the use of shorter sentences, smaller words, and a conversational, 10th-grade reading level.
    • A focus on understanding drug classes rather than memorizing individual drugs helps students understand the actions and uses of drug classes and provides a framework for safe, effective practice as new drugs are introduced to the market.
    • Get Ready for the NLCEX Examination! section includes Review Questions, Case Studies, Critical Thinking Questions and a Drug Calculation Review to prepare students for pharmacology questions on the NCLEX-PN Exam.
    • NEW! Review of math and drug dosage calculation on the Evolve companion website provides struggling students with hands-on, interactive remediation.
    • Application of the nursing process to each drug class is provided in the Nursing Implications and Patient Teaching section and always covers Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation, and Patient and Family Teaching.
    • Consistent chapter format covers each drug class with Action, Uses, Adverse Reactions, Drug and Food Interactions, and Nursing Implications and Patient Teaching sections.
    • A study guide corresponds to the textbook and offers a wide variety of exercises, learning activities, and review questions to reinforce student understanding of nursing pharmacology. Available separately.
    • 30 must-know drugs — those most commonly prescribed — are highlighted with special icons and listed on the inside cover for quick reference.
    • Do Not Confuse drug list is located on the inside cover for quick reference, helping students avoid drug errors with common look-alike or sound-alike drug names.
    • Case studies in all drug chapters offer practice in applying information to realistic clinical situations and help students prepare for the NCLEX-PN Examination.
    • Drug Calculation Review questions reinforce 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.
    • 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.
    • Vivid, full-color design includes more than 100 drawings and photographs.
    • 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 Evolve.
    • NEW! Review of math and drug dosage calculation on the Evolve companion website provides hands-on practice with essential pharmacology.
