Lehne’s Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician 2nd Edition PDF

Pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics pervade all phases of advanced practice and relate directly to patient care and education. Despite their importance, many students – and even some teachers – are often uncomfortable with these subjects because traditional tests have stressed memorizing rather than understanding. In this text, the guiding principle is to establish further understanding of drugs and their use in patient care.

This text has two major objectives to help you, the advanced practice student, establish a continued knowledge base in the basic science of drugs; and to show you how that knowledge can be applied in clinical practice. The methods by which these goals are achieved are described here.
