Pharmacology: A Patient-Centered Nursing Process Approach, 10th Edition, is a textbook designed to prepare nursing candidates for the NCLEX and support their future work as professional nurses.
Coverage introduces fundamental pharmacotherapy principles, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenetics, alongside pediatric and geriatric considerations. The volume examines major drug categories, such as autonomic drugs, central and peripheral nervous system agents, and antimicrobial therapies.
To connect clinical duties with pharmacology, bulleted nursing process summaries link patient care to drug therapy while emphasizing patient teaching, safety, and cultural considerations.
