Description:

REAL-WORLD NURSING SURVIVAL GUIDE: PHARMACOLOGY is a study and review aid for nursing students struggling with this especially difficult subject area. This guide offers a visual, interactive approach that clearly and engagingly explains topics such as drug pharmacodynamics, pharmacotherapeutics, and pharmacokinetics as well as the nurse's responsibilities in determining risk factors and administering medications.

  • Narrows the gap between the facts learned in school and the wisdom that nurses need to survive in the real world
  • Consistent headings divide information into manageable units and reinforce a logical learning strategy
  • Icons for lifespan considerations, cultural implications, web links, caution/danger, calculations, and prototype drugs help the reader identify special content in the chapter
  • Memory-reinforcing mnemonic devices and a variety of interactive activities (fill-in the blank, matching, word jumbles, true/false, crossword puzzles, etc.) with answers help promote learning
  • An "Age Specifics" heading highlights information on infants, children, pregnant adults, and the elderly
  • Boxed "Take Home Points" offer succinct points of advice that reflect years of nursing experience
  • Includes a four-page, full-colour insert that graphically illustrates eight key drug mechanisms of action
  • NCLEX-style questions are referenced by chapter and provided in a convenient 2-column format with answers and rationales that can be covered with a flap on the back cover.
  • Original cartoon illustrations and a theme cow cartoon character walk the student through difficult subjects with a light-hearted, engaging approach to learning. Correlates directly to the Pathophysiology book in the Real World Nursing Survival Guide series via a cross-reference icon in the text and a tandem table of contents printed on the inside front cover
