This book effectively presents pharmacology in a consistent and readable format. Drugs are grouped by therapeutic class within the body systems. Each chapter begins with objectives, key terms, and a chapter overview, and ends with a chapter summary and critical thinking questions that directly apply the content to clinical practice. Various special boxes highlight important, need-to-know information related to life span issues, clinical alerts, medication administration, math conversions and calculations, and precautions.
