Pharmacology Success: A Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking

1,150 critical thinking questions (both multiple choice and alternate format) organize the seemingly huge volume of pharmacology information students must master into manageable sections divided by body systems and specific diseases. They not only learn to associate the medication with the disease process, making learning easier, but are also able to evaluate their knowledge of medications prior to taking their exams.All of the questions encompass the basic concepts for medication administration, including why the client is taking the medication when the nurse would question administering the medication how the nurse knows the medication is effective and what interventions the nurse needs to teach the client concerning the medication.This title includes: 1,150 questions - all with rationales for both correct and incorrect answers; bonus CD-ROM with every book! (two 50-question exams (powered by Brownstone) coded according to client need category, cognitive level, integrated processes, and difficulty level); test - taking tips for every question; all questions written at application and analysis level - just like the NCLEX; all questions field tested by nursing students; introductory chapter focusing on applying critical thinking to various question types; approximately 200 new alternate format question types; and, key questions on major drug classes, medication administration, delegation, and management content integrated within disease/disorder questions.
