This rich library of online assets is an essential tool for building a fully online or web-enhanced nursing pharmacology course that corresponds to Lehne's best-selling Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 5th Edition.

Instructor assets include a PowerPoint Collection, Test Bank, and WebLinks.Assets are presented in two views - a Unit View (corresponding to the units in the Lehne textbook) and an Asset View (assets are organized by asset type). Self-Study Modules on the basic principles of pharmacology serve as a convenient adjunct to textbook material or classroom presentation. Students can work through the 11 animation-enhanced modules as often as needed to ensure comprehension, then submit an NCLEX examination-style assessment to their instructor. Branching Case Studies immerse students in true-to-life clinical scenarios and ask them to make choices in patient care. The 18 cases unfold differently depending on the choices that the student makes, and remediation is provided for incorrect choices. At the end of the case, the student submits an NCLEX examination-style assessment to the instructor. An online Drug Handbook is available to help students work through issues of drug dosage and administration. Interactive Learning Activities include activity themes such as What Drug Am I? Two activities are provided for each Unit of the Lehne text, for a total of 40 activities. 10 Roadside Assistance video clips feature nationally known pharmacologist and speaker Alan P. Agins, PhD, presenting core pharmacology concepts with a uniquely memorable flair.
