Pharmacology for Nurses links a unique approach to teaching pharmacology with Canadian content to deliver an outstanding manual for nursing students. A holistic, pathophysiological approach runs throughout the text, which places drugs in context with their therapeutic use, and organizes them by body systems and diseases. This gives students a clear picture of the importance of pharmacology to disease and ultimately to patient care. Detailed information on the drug classifications used to treat diseases is included.

Pharmacology for nurses a pathophysiological approach 2nd Table of contents:

1. Pathophysiology and Pharmacology:
   • Focuses on the relationship between disease processes and drug actions.
   • Discusses how drugs interact with different physiological systems in the body.
   • Covers how pharmacological treatments are aligned with the pathophysiology of specific conditions.
2. Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:
   • Explains the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs (pharmacokinetics).
   • Describes the actions of drugs at their sites of action, including the mechanisms of drug action (pharmacodynamics).
3. Nursing Considerations in Drug Therapy:
   • Provides practical nursing considerations for drug administration.
   • Emphasizes the nurse’s role in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating drug therapy.
   • Discusses patient safety, including adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, and monitoring for therapeutic effects.
4. Major Drug Classes and Therapeutic Uses:
   • Breaks down common drug classes and their therapeutic uses.
   • Provides a detailed review of drugs used for conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory disorders, and neurological diseases.
   • Emphasizes drug classifications and the therapeutic decision-making process for nurses.
5. Special Populations:
   • Focuses on drug therapy for different populations, including pregnant women, children, the elderly, and individuals with liver or kidney disease.
   • Discusses how pharmacological treatments should be adjusted in these special populations.
6. Drug Administration Routes:
   • Explains various drug administration routes and their implications for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
   • Covers oral, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, and other administration methods.
7. Patient Education:
   • Focuses on educating patients about their medications, the importance of adherence, and recognizing side effects.
   • Discusses communication strategies for teaching patients about safe drug use.
8. Ethical and Legal Considerations in Pharmacology:
   • Reviews ethical issues nurses may encounter related to drug therapy, including informed consent, patient autonomy, and professional responsibility.
   • Covers the legal aspects of drug administration, including drug regulations and nursing responsibilities.
9. Drug-Related Problems and Interventions:
   • Identifies common drug-related problems such as non-adherence, drug interactions, polypharmacy, and adverse effects.
   • Discusses nursing interventions to manage these problems and improve patient outcomes.
10. Clinical Cases and Critical Thinking:

• Includes clinical case scenarios that encourage critical thinking and the application of pharmacological knowledge in real-life nursing practice.
• Each case study challenges the reader to evaluate drug therapy in the context of pathophysiology, patient history, and clinical guidelines.

11. Comprehensive Review of Drug Information:

• Provides detailed, easy-to-understand information about individual drugs and their uses in the clinical setting.
• Discusses the side effects, dosages, contraindications, and nursing considerations for a broad range of medications.

12. Advances in Pharmacology:

• Highlights emerging trends in pharmacology and new drug developments.
• Discusses the impact of personalized medicine and pharmacogenomics on drug therapy.
