The Study Guide for Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 12th Edition, authored by Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum and Laura D. Rosenthal, is a 320-page workbook designed to assist nursing students and NCLEX candidates in mastering clinical pharmacology. Published under the Saunders imprint, this study guide directly corresponds to the chapters in the primary textbook to provide systematic review and self-testing opportunities.

The material synthesizes foundational drug principles with clinical applications across body systems. Practice exercises focus on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug interactions, followed by major therapeutic topics such as neuropharmacology, cardiovascular agents, endocrine disorders, anti-inflammatory treatments, respiratory tract drugs, gastrointestinal therapies, and cancer chemotherapy protocols.

To support exam preparedness, every chapter features NCLEX Examination-style questions presented in multiple-choice, multiple-select, and alternate-item formats. Each unit also provides a standalone Next-Generation NCLEX (NGN) case study, providing structured practice in clinical judgment for students progressing through their nursing curriculum.
