Pharmacology for Nursing Care, 7th Edition by Richard A. Lehne – Test Bank

This writing places emphasis on comprehension rather than rote memorization to effectively convey the overarching concepts through the use of drug prototypes, detailed explanations, and foundational chapters that address principles related to every bodily system. At the conclusion of each chapter, a synopsis of key nursing implications also assists in applying the material to real-world scenarios. The accompanying companion CD-ROM includes audio and printable key points that can be transferred to a CD or MP3 player. The CD-ROM also contains 700 NCLEX® exam-style multiple-choice review questions, animations illustrating drug mechanisms and effects, flashcards, and various digital calculators.
