Product Description
Now in its second edition, this popular text continues to be the essential resource for the in-depth information that nurse practitioners need to be safe and effective prescribers of medication. The authors focus on applying pharmacologic scientific knowledge to clinical practice by explaining diagnostic and treatment reasoning and rational drug selection, while providing useful clinical pearls from experienced practitioners. This exciting new edition retains the great features of the first while also providing a fresh two-color design and a wealth of new and updated information. Included are: increased coverage of pathophysiology; new chapters on pharmacogenomics, pharmacoeconomics, and pain management. You won't find a more comprehensive book on the market!

 A must have textbook! April 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book two months ago and it has been an excellent resource. I am currently taking an advanced course of pharmacology (FNP-S) and after reviewing several other textbooks I decided that this was the best one. If you are working towards an advanced degree in nursing this is a "must have textbook". I strongly recommend it.
The book covers the entire spectrum of prescribing from the eyes of a nurse in advanced practice not from the eyes of a pharmaceutical. If you need to know the chemistry and the composition of drugs you need to look for another book.

 Good reference April 3, 2008
I bought this book for my APRN class. It seems to be the most up to date book for now. The shipping was fast and I have an A in the class, the book is working!

I'm currently taking pharmacology this semester and we are using this book. Most of the students in the class, including myself, found so many inconsistencies inside this book. I told my professor that she should consider changing textbooks for next semester, but I was told that the school has a "contract" and can't change textbooks. I ended up getting supplemental books to study from. I don't recommend this book for graduate study. It is too wordy and has too many inconsistencies.

This text is awful. It is very hard to follow and is not nearly as in-depth as it should be. It is poorly organized. For example, if you look up "ACE Inhibitor" in the Index, its listed on 39 pages, ranging from p75-1086. Obviously, these are not all in the same chapter. Its mentioned in the chapters entitled: Culture and Ethnic Influences etc, Drugs affecting the cardiovascular and renal systems, Drugs affecting the Hematopoietic system, Drugs affecting the endocrine system, drugs affecting the reproductive system, a chapter about Angina, a chapter about Diabetes, a chapter about heart failure, and a chapter about hyperlipidemia. As you can see, this is just one example of how spread out information is and how it is hard to get a concise view of a drug or method of treatment. I would not recommend this book. I gave it one star because Amazon makes you give it at least one star.

This book is thorough and easy to understand. It is great for the Advanced Nursing Student.
