Introducing Pharmacology for Nursing and Healthcare - 3rd - Abingdon : Routledge, 2019
Let's start at the basics - cells and how they work; Proteins as targets for drugs; A drug's journey through the body; The cardiovascular system (1) - drugs used in the management of cardiovascular disease; The cardiovascular system (2) - hypertension and antihypertensive drugs; Pain and its management; Disorders and drugs of the digestive system; Infection and antimicrobial drugs; Disorders and drugs of the respiratory system; Disorders and drugs of the endocrine system; Drugs for mental and neurological disorders; Cancer and anti-cancer drugs
This third edition of Introducing Pharmacology provides an accessible and engaging introduction to the subject of pharmacology for nursing and healthcare students and anyone needing to refresh their knowledge of this important area. This edition recognises that many nursing and healthcare courses are now requiring students to engage with the subject of pharmacology at a higher level. Accordingly, this edition has been reinforced with more advanced pharmacology that will help these students, but without losing the clarity and accessibility of earlier editions.
