Description
-- Thoroughly updated, this competency-based book offers a fresh approach for students learning pharmacology by moving from simple skills to increasingly more complex ones -- Focuses on the skills and knowledge expected of the entry-level professional in the primary care ambulatory setting -- Uses single formula for dosages and calculations throughout the text and in the review questions -- The text conveys simply and clearly how to administer medications safely and under the direction of the physician, and how to help teach patients to administer medications to themselves -- Covers the 50 most commonly prescribed drugs and the drugs routinely administered in the clinical setting -- Uses an activities-oriented, competency-based approach that emphasizes understanding rather than rote memorization
