This new text integrates the knowledge of both pathophysiology and pharmacology with specific drug and patent variables to help readers understand the importance, meaning, and rationale for choosing one drug over another. Divided into four units, the first section focuses on the link between pharmacology and professional nursing practice, explaining the concepts of pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmaceutics, and pharmacoeconomics. The remaining units explore the influence of drugs on various body systems. For a given disease or condition, the text leads the reader through treatment objectives, pharmacotherapeutic options, medications, side effects, and the critical thinking process-assessment (including developmental and patient-specific considerations), analysis, implementation and evaluation.
