Memorizing Pharmacy Technician Mnemonics by Tony Guerra Pdf

A book that provides mnemonics and questions, answers, and rationales for the Pharmacy Technician licensing exams. Whether you are taking the Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam (PTCE) which some call the PTCB which actually stands for the name of the organization, the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, or the ExCPT, Exam for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians administered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA), there will be a point where you start taking a lot of practice exams. What I want to do with this book, that's a little different than the Memorizing Pharmacology: A Relaxed Approach, Second Edition parent book, is talk about how to memorize what you learned from taking and reviewing those exams so you can have all of those questions and answers in your long-term memory as you enter the ultimate licensing exam.In Memorizing Pharmacology: A Relaxed Approach, Second Edition, I introduced the acronym GMRINCE, where you start by memorizing the seven pathophysiologic classes in the book in order as G-M-RINCE, as Grand Mothers RINCE kids' hair (except it's the French r-i-n-c-e instead of the English r-i-n-s-e) to set up the broadest framework. These seven pathophysiologic classes help as steel reinforcing bars that, when surrounded by concrete, will provide the foundation for your memorizing the gastrointestinal (G), musculoskeletal (M), respiratory (R), immune (I), neuro (N), cardio (C), and endocrine (E) systems' medications.Students would take the mnemonic and put it on a notecard for later practice. For the licensing exam, we are going to create a way to sort our 3 x 5 notecards into twelve distinct piles, rather than seven. Personally, I would do this all in twelve tabs of an Excel spreadsheet, but do what works for you. I will now add five more letters to make a 12-letter acronym for pharmacy technicians, "GM RINCED ALSO," G-M-R-I-N-C-E-D-A-L-S-O adding Dosage Calculations, (D), Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Initialisms, (A), Laws and Regulations, (L), Supplements, (S), and Other Questions (O).We can use very Pharmacy Technician specific mnemonics to memorize drugs that need to be taken with water or that a patient should use sunscreen, for example.

Memorizing Pharmacology Mnemonics: Pharmacology Flashcards and Fill-ins for the Future Nurse, Doctor, Physician Assistant, and Pharmacist by Tony Guerra Pdf

Have pharmacology test anxiety or a feeling of overwhelm? This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

Drug Names Decoded by Tony Guerra Pdf

Why is pharmacology hard? It's tough to memorize words you can't pronounce, it's not often clear what needs to be memorized, and most pharmacology books are not written in plain, accessible English. This book provides pronunciations for generic and brand name drugs, mnemonics for each drug in an easy to memorize order, and a plain English summary of each pharmacologic concept. Drug Names Decoded: How to Study Pharmacology breaks down learning pharmacology into small bite-sized, digestible pieces of memorable information to help students quickly improve their pharmacology knowledge base.

Top 200 Drugs by Professor Lohner Mba Bs Pharm Pdf

Many medical, nursing, and pharmacy students think that it is really difficult to remember all the drugs so they say, just memorize whatever you can. There is a way or a "hack" to remember all the 200 drugs. You can do this by grouping them basedon their use, the organs or systems they affect, knowing the most commonly used prefixes, roots, and suffixes used in generic names of drugs. What do I mean by that?Here's an example: -al, a common suffix for drugs like tadalafil (Brand Name: Cialis) and sildenal (Brand Name: Viagra). These drugs fall under the category PDE inhibitor or phosphodiesterase inhibitor. These are drugs that are used for erectiledysfunction or ED. Another example is -sone, a suffix for a drug called fluticasone. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory drugs so, it is safe to make the educated guess during a test that drugs that end in -sone (applies to generic names only) are steroids. Barbiturates, group of drugs used as anesthetics or antiepileptics, have the root -barb. Examples of these drugs are: phenobarbital and secobarbital. The suffix -olol is used for beta blockers. Beta blockers are drugs used for hypertension. Another one would be -statin, atorvastatin and simvastatin are used to lower elevated cholesterol levels and these drugs are classified as antihyperlipidemics or HMG Co-enzyme A Reductase Inhibitor. Statins are used to lower elevated cholesterol levels in the blood.Yes, studying DRUGS can be gruesome. Students, more often than not, get overwhelmed by so much information given to them to study all at once. A lot of them give up due to information overload or anxiety that comes with seeing all the thick textbooks and materials that need to be covered, studied, understood and tested on. This is why I organized not just the Top 200 Drugs but, the Top 250 Drugs in this book for you by their class and I included the cheat codes in memorizing them easily.Students also told me that the list was no good since "the list doesn't talk to them" like I do during lectures and they do not know how to pronounce half the drugs on the list. Oh yeah, I hear you say that, too, "Yeah, it's a nice and handy list but, I do not know how to say or pronounce more than half of these drugs, if not all." You do not have to worry, I have made a compilation of my audio lectures from my live classes to go with this ebook so, MEMORIZING DRUGS CAN REALLY BE THIS RIDICULOUSLY EASY and the link is inside the book.Repetition is key to remembering anything. And by you carrying me, I mean, carrying this ebook with you everywhere you go, you can pull it out anytime, anywhere, for a quick study or review. I will be with you everywhere you go, I promise and because I really want you to succeed, I included a list of the Top 250 Drugs, instead of just the Top 200 Drugs. -Prof. Lohner

How to Pronounce Drug Names: A Visual Approach to Preventing Medication Errors by Tony Guerra Pdf

Can you remember, pronounce, and spell the active ingredient in the last medicine you took or gave your child? If you're an administrator, can everyone in your facility who provides patients with medications spell and pronounce those medications correctly? If you have any doubt-whether you're reading this book in a doctor's office, a pharmacy, or a hospital room-I wrote this book for you. A revolution is happening in health care. In the past, nurses, pharmacists, and doctors spoke together at length with families about their concerns and medicines. But now, patients receive only distracted attention as their health professionals tangle with billing, electronic records, and insurance obstacles. This shortened communication frustrates doctors and patients who want to connect. Patients find themselves isolated because they don't speak the language of medicine. This book teaches you that language with plain English words.
