MOSBY'S PHARMACOLOGY IN NURSING is a classic text that is one of the most comprehensive and current in the nursing pharmacology market. Its hallmark is its drug-monograph approach, with specific application of the nursing process to every major drug and drug group. The 21st edition provides thorough coverage of more than 1,100 drugs, including approximately 100 new drugs recently approved by the FDA. Content has been carefully revised and updated throughout, with increased emphasis on pharmacology in the community. New features include TechnologyLink boxes (listing video, audio, and Web resources) and Complementary and Alternative Therapies boxes (covering the 10 herbs most commonly used in clinical practice). A fresh graphic design more clearly distinguishes nursing management content from drug monographs and highlights key drugs in color and with a distinctive icon.
