Learn the principles of pharmacology and administer drugs safely! *Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology*, 11th Edition provides the essential information that LPNs and vocational nurses need to administer medications in all practice settings. It explains how drugs and drug classes work, helping you understand why drugs are given and how to evaluate expected responses, side effects, and adverse effects. Each drug category includes an overview of the nursing process that outlines the nurse’s role when administering medications.
This edition adds a new **Drugs for Cancer Treatment** chapter and a **Get Ready for the Next Generation NCLEX® Examination!** section with case studies and questions to help you prepare for the newest version of the NCLEX exam. Written by an experienced team of authors led by Dr. Constance G. Visovsky, the text is designed specifically for LPN/LVN programs, offering illustrated, need‑to‑know pharmacology information. A focus on drug categories provides a framework for safe, effective practice as new drugs enter the market. Rationales accompany nursing actions, clarifying why precautions are necessary and aiding communication with patients and families. Safety Alert boxes, Black Box Warnings, and Lifespan Considerations boxes highlight important nursing considerations for safe medication administration and monitoring across all age groups. Additional features include Top Tips for Safety, Memory Jogger aids, online video clips on medication‑administration procedures, and key terms with definitions and page references to improve terminology and language skills before clinical practice.
