Pharmacology for Nurses: A Pathophysiologic Approach (4th Edition) 4th Edition

This book helps for review after while of the basic area of phramacology. It is more focoused on specific target area.

This textbook is excellent. It's organized well. Each chapter begins with a very simple explanation of the patho for each drug section. Prototype drugs are outlined very well. End of chapter questions are well written and useful for clinical. I really can't say how thankful I am for this book being in our program. I used it more than our actual pathology textbook for another class. The nursing considerations included are straight forward and easy to understand. Great editing.Also just want to add I highly recommend getting the workbook for this edition. It has these calculation questions at the end of each section that provide an opportunity for practice each time you study. Also there is this section called "making connections" or something like that which gives you chance to answer questions based on what you learned in the sections prior.This kind of refreshes you so you don't forget. I wish that other textbooks would do this because the more you work with the material the more permanent it becomes in your mind. Great idea.

Everything you need to know about Pharmacologyy for nursing is right here in this book. The information is easy to read making it easier to understand.BUY IT!! It came fast aswell in these trying times and just as new. no tears no highlighting.

Nice book with great illustrations. Well written and easy to understand. I appreciate being able to purchase and rent books from Amazon to avoid the over priced books at the campus store. Amazon rentals makes things much easier on the pocket book since going to college is very expensive in itself, so appreciate this service. I also find that purchasing used book is great. Even purchasing used study guides is very helpful since sometimes the notes and highlighting that the previous owner may have left behind also helps during studying and reading. It is like having a study partner. Happy studying!I review items in hopes that my review will help you to make an informed decision on your purchase as I also rely heavily on customer reviews when making a purchase on Amazon. If this has helped you in any way, please take a moment to click the "YES" button and let me know. Thanks so much! Have a great day and happy shopping!

I am a nursing instructor at an LPN/LVN program in CA. I find this resource helps will explanation of why medications "work" better than others and when coupled with the pathophysiology the students have a better understanding of why one medication would be prescribed for one Patient/Client and not another when both Patient/Clients have the same condition. The illustrations and explanations clarify and assist with learning in my student groups. I highly recommend this book.

very confusing book. lots of useful information but had to buy a supplemental book for my class because the information was all over the place

OMG....This is the first semester I have used e-books, and I will never go back!!!! This book not only has great information, but amazing features that make it easy to study the material inside. I literally click a button to make flashcards to study, and now Im not carrying around a ton of books (Which really hurt my back last semester). Cant go wrong with this buy!

Book is very informative however the authors use the prefix "Pharmaco" an infuriating number of times in every single chapter. Most paragraphs have some form of this term. It is obviously understood that this is a pharmacology book. Authors need to learn to use a thesaurus or expand their vocabulary.
