| Abstract | "The book discusses physiology and pathophysiology for each of the major drug families, using drug prototypes to simplify learning. What's more, it focuses your attention on the most important content, limiting discussions of drug interactions and adverse effects to those that matter most. Written by nursing educators Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum and Laura D. Rosenthal, this text emphasizes the understanding of drugs and drug therapy as opposed to simply memorizing drug facts." -- Provided by publisher. |
