NCLEX: Pharmacology for Nurses: 100 Practice Questions with Rationales to help you Pass the NCLEX!: Created by a team of NCLE (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534655171)

Pharmacology is one of the most challenging subjects in nursing, not only because there is over a thousand drugs out there in the market to be familiar with, but also because pharmacology is a part of every aspect of patient care. In fact, it is a hefty part of medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, maternal and child, geriatrics, hospice, psychiatric nursing and even community nursing. When flipping through the pages of a 3-inch thick drug handbook, would-be nurses feel a great sense of frustration. They ask themselves, "How do I study this?", "Which information should I focus on?". A proven strategy in becoming successful in Pharmacology is familiarizing oneself with the drugs. One way of doing this is to answer as many NCLEX-style questions on Pharmacology as you can and then study their rationales. This narrows down concepts to the most significant ones. Another strategy is to look at concepts that deal with safety issues. Many questions revolve around safety. It is the primary concern in Pharmacology. Have there been new drugs introduced in the last 3-5 years? Zero-in on that, too. Do research on certain issues that actually happened in real life that greatly affected patient outcomes. These strategies are going to work wonders in achieving your goals in becoming a registered nurse, but to dig into books just to look for concepts that deal with safety, and doing research on true-to-life accounts are too time consuming. This is the main reason why you need this 100-question book. The reliability of this book is ensured because nursing instructors who are experts in the field of Pharmacology developed the questions themselves.
