Understanding Pharmacology - E-Book by M. Linda Workman,Linda A. LaCharity Pdf

Pharmacology can be difficult. But with the right text, understanding drugs and how they work doesn’t have to be! Using easy-to-follow language and engaging learning tools — like Memory Joggers, Clinical Pitfalls, Do Not Confuse, and Drug Alerts — the second edition of Understanding Pharmacology: Essentials for Medication Safety helps readers really understand how drugs work. In addition to the popular critical thinking activities from the first edition, the second edition also includes more chapter review questions, updated content, and a new organization that centers on the different body systems. For students who have a limited background in the sciences and want complete preparation for licensure exams and clinical practice, there is no better choice than Understanding Pharmacology, 2nd Edition! Entire unit reviewing math, weights and measures, and dosage calculation minimizes readers’ anxiety and promotes medication safety. Clever, easy-to-recognize margin icons help visual learners remember essential side effects of drugs. Simplified heading structure replaces intimidating terminology (i.e. pharmacokinetics) with simplified language (How These Drugs Work) to increase understanding of concepts. Drug Alert!, Do-Not-Confuse, and Clinical Pitfall boxes highlight important tips for safe medication administration. Memory Jogger boxes help readers remember important drug information. Get Ready for Practice sections at the end of each chapter include key points, chapter review questions, and critical thinking activities to reinforce learning. 10th grade reading level uses straightforward, everyday language to really enhance readers’ understanding of pharmacology concepts. Incorporation of adult learning theory features both a simple to complex organization of material along with answers to why readers need to learn something. NEW! Body system organization helps readers better understand drugs that are specific to particular body systems. NEW! More chapter review questions have been added to the text. All review questions are now organized into one of two categories: Test Yourself on the Basics and Test Yourself on Advanced Concepts.

NCLEX-RN (r) - Pharmacology Study Guide by Marnie Kramer-Kile Pdf

The purpose of this pharmacology study guide is to help nursing graduates work through the vast amount of pharmacological knowledge required for the NCLEX-RN(R) in a systematic and purposeful way. The breadth and detail of the knowledge required of pharmacological concepts often overwhelms new graduates when they are beginning their exam preparation. This guide organizes content using the current NCLEX-RN(R) Test Plan (2016-2019) and provides specific strategies to address pharmacological areas of review which may challenge new graduates in their exam preparation. The guide was created by an experienced undergraduate nurse educator specializing in critical thinking development and application for high stakes exam writing. Many candidates, while studying for the NCLEX-RN(R), often forgo studying pharmacological concepts in the detail required for the exam. Unique to this Pharmacology Guide is a five step algorithm, created by the author, to help graduates approach drug-to-drug interaction questions. This algorithm is designed to help uncover correct answers by using pharmacological principles rather than memorizing drugs that interact with one another. The purpose of the modules in this Pharmacology study guide series are to: - Provide in-depth review of the major drug classes from a systems approach (e.g. respiratory, nervous system etc...) to help increase retention of key concepts and encourage application of pharmacological therapy in the context of disease management. - Summarize important information related to drug therapy and guide graduates to in-depth review of serious adverse events associated with medications. The modules will contain summary tables, review questions and exercises for key concepts. - Direct the reader to important areas for client assessment during drug therapy This is a working pharmacology study guide, so while key information will be presented and organized for review, it is up to you to do the detailed work of content review by answering the questions and exercises in each module The following resources are recommended to use with this pharmacology study guide: 1. Pharmacology textbook. This resource will contain the detailed information pertaining to drug classes and specific nursing considerations related to drug therapy. 2. Drug guide. These resources contain alphabetized drug information and outline pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics characteristics of medications. You will find important information related to the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretions of drugs- as well as protein binding and therapeutic index. 3. An online drug repository if the resources above do not contain the information needed to answer the questions in the guide. Each module contains practice questions using NCLEX-RN(R) formatted questions. It is recommended that you seek additional practice questions from resources that challenge you to go into pharmacological concepts such as serious adverse events and drug-to-drug interactions in detail and test your knowledge specific nursing interventions related to drug therapy. There are a total of 12 working Modules covered in the Pharmacology Study Guide: Module 1: Understanding Drug-to-Drug Interactions Module 2: Drugs Affecting the Respiratory System Module 3: Drugs Affecting the Nervous System Module 4: Drugs Affecting the Gastrointestinal System Module 5: Vascular and Cardiac Medications Module 6: Drugs Affecting the Urinary and Renal System Module 7: Anti-Infective Medications Module 8: Drugs Affecting the Endocrine System Module 9: Antineoplastic Medications Module 10: Medications Given in Mental Health Contexts Module 11: Drugs and the Intra/Ante/Post-Partum Client Module 12: Pain Management and Anesthesia
