Renowned for its meticulously accurate and up-to-date drug content, this best-selling text consistently prioritizes medication safety as it guides you in applying pharmacology knowledge to the nursing process. The introductory units introduce you to the basic principles of pharmacology and medication administration, while subsequent body-system units equip you to apply the nursing process to every major disorder. Clear guidelines cover safe drug handling, the types of drugs used for disorders or to affect body systems, injection and enteral administration, and patient education. From a respected author team, this full-color text also serves as an excellent review for the pharmacology questions on the NCLEX® examination. Medication safety is underscored through Medication Safety Alerts and Clinical Pitfall boxes, as well as Do-Not-Confuse and High Alert icons. The unit on medication administration provides a clear and visually organized outline of assessment, techniques, procedures, and documentation for the safe administration of percutaneous, enteral, and parenteral drugs. Application of the nursing process offers an overview of general principles of nursing care for each disorder, as well as specific nursing considerations for drug treatment. Lifespan Considerations boxes for children and older adults highlight information that would be particularly important when giving a specific drug to patients of those age groups. Drug tables clearly outline generic and brand names, availability, and dosage ranges for key medications for each disorder. Clinical Goldmine boxes focus on best practices in the clinical setting. Get Ready for the NCLEX® Examination! section at the end of the book provides additional resources and study aids to help you prepare for the NCLEX® examination. Whether you're a nursing student or a practicing nurse, Clayton's Basic Pharmacology for Nurses, 18th Edition is your trusted companion for achieving excellence in pharmacology and patient care.
