Master an understanding of pharmacology â and apply that understanding to nursing practice!

With an engaging approach that actually makes learning nursing pharmacology enjoyable, Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 12th Edition makes it easier to understand difficult pharmacologic principles and the clinical use of drugs.

The book discusses physiology and pathophysiology for each of the major drug families, using drug prototypes to simplify learning.

What’s more, it focuses your attention on the most important content, limiting discussions of drug interactions and adverse effects to those that matter most.

Written by nursing educators Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum and Laura D.

Rosenthal, this text emphasizes the understanding of drugs and drug therapy as opposed to simply memorizing drug facts.

Clear, engaging writing style simplifies complex concepts, making difficult pharmacology content not only understandable but actually enjoyable
Prototype Drugs approach focuses on representative agents that characterize all members of a given drug group, so that you can apply your understanding to related drugs that are currently available and those that will be released in the future
