Reinforce student understanding of nursing pharmacology and patient-centered care for medication safety! Corresponding to the chapters in McCuistion’s Pharmacology: A Patient-Centered Nursing Process Approach, 12th Edition, this practical study guide provides hundreds of exercises, questions, drug calculation problems, and case studies to help students review and apply pharmacology and drug calculation concepts and content. The new edition features Next-Generation NCLEX® Examination (NGN)–style case studies to prepare students for the latest NCLEX® Exam. With this practical study guide, students will apply their knowledge of nursing pharmacology to clinical practice, enhance their decision-making abilities, and develop clinical judgment skills for NGN success and safe medication practice.
    • UPDATED! Content matches the updates in the 12th edition of the McCuistion textbook.
    • Each chapter features helpful learning aids, including a Study Questions section (fill-in-the-blank, matching, true-false), an NCLEX® Review Questions section, and a Case Studies section, which includes traditional case studies as well as Next-Generation NCLEX® Exam (NGN)–style case studies.
    • Authentic and current sample drug labels throughout mirror true-to-life practice in working with drug information.
    • Focus on safety includes a special icon that calls attention to questions related to the AACN Essentials priority of safe patient care.
    • Answers for all exercises are provided at the back of the book to facilitate self-study, with detailed rationales included for all application-level questions and case study questions.
