Pharmacology: A Patient-Centered Nursing Process Approach, 8th Edition, is a textbook that grounds pharmacology in clinical nursing practice. The text organizes drug therapy around a nursing process framework and includes prototype drug summaries to illustrate key therapeutic principles.
The volume spans fundamental concepts of drug action, administration safety, and major pharmacotherapies. Core topics include autonomic, neurologic, cardiovascular, and respiratory medications, as well as antiinfectives and nutritional support.
The 2014 edition highlights Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies. It also incorporates enhanced coverage of prioritization and NCLEX Examination-style questions to provide practical review for nursing students.
