Advanced Pharmacology for Prescribers – A Comprehensive and Evidence-Based Pharmacology Reference Book for Advanced Practice Students and Clinicians 1st Edition

Delivers the critical information primary care providers need to be thoroughly informed prescribers.

Advanced Pharmacology for Prescribers —an evidence-based pharmacology text and reference for advanced practice students and clinicians—is a unique resource that guides users in analyzing the foundations of drug therapy and fosters the development of sound clinical judgment in determining the appropriate medication for every patient across the lifespan. Targeting the specific needs of APRN and PA students and clinicians, this pharmacology book is a “bridge” between standard, lengthy texts and quick pocket references that lack information regarding key pharmacotherapy principles.

Featuring an applied therapeutic approach to major disorders and their pharmacologic treatment, the book examines how medications act on the body and visa versa, while teaching the rationale for using specific therapeutic agents or drug classes. Each chapter includes case studies that apply the concepts discussed, relevant diagnostic studies, applicable guidelines, genomics, and important lifespan considerations. Of special interest is a chapter on pharmacogenetics explaining the basic principles underlying our current understanding of genetic variations in response to pharmacotherapy and adverse drug reactions. Easily digestible chapters include objectives and review questions. Ancillary resources include an instructor manual with learning objectives, chapter summaries, and case studies; chapter PowerPoint slides; test bank; and image bank.
