Description

This pharmacology handbook combines a "master systems" approach -- the interaction of the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems -- with illustrations for a unique, physiological presentation of basic pharmacological concepts. Instead of treating drugs as remedies for dysfunctional body tissues, this book presents drugs as chemicals mimicking the molecular languages of the body. The cartoon-like illustrations which accompany the molecular actions of drugs aid students in drug action recall and can help in patient teaching. This book covers cell language and pharmacology and the whole spectrum of drug types including Aldosterone and Diuretics, Insulin, Opiates, drugs to treat clotting disorders, drugs to treat allergies, and drugs to treat Cancer. Nursing students in ADN and BSN programs.
