Abrams' Clinical Drug Therapy: Rationales for Nursing Practice, 13th Edition, authored by Geralyn Frandsen and Sandra Pennington, is a core pharmacology textbook tailored for nursing students and nursing instructors. The text connects fundamental pharmacologic principles directly to bedside practice by detailing the underlying reasoning behind nursing actions during medication administration.

The volume organizes complex drug therapies around key physiological systems and specific patient demographics. Early sections examine quality standards, administration safety, and lifespan considerations for pediatric, maternal, adult, and geriatric care. Middle and later units cover anti-infectives, cardiovascular agents, respiratory treatments, digestive remedies, endocrine regimens, and autonomic and central nervous system medications.

To help learners transition to practice and prepare for professional licensure, every unit incorporates Clinical Judgment Case Studies that support NCLEX exam preparation. Published by Wolters Kluwer Health in 2024, this 1,288-page English publication provides a clear framework for delivering individualized nursing care.
