Amy M. Karch
Fully adapted for the UK, this text presents essential pharmacology concepts
in a streamlined, user-friendly fashion. Organised by body system, the
book explains the rationale for each drug class’s therapeutic actions,
contraindications, and adverse effects, using the British National Formulary
as its reference guide. Each chapter opens with learning objectives and ends
with questions to reinforce learning. Illustrations, tables, side bars, and boxes
summarise concepts and focus attention on critical thinking, patient safety,
evidence-based practice, lifespan issues, patient teaching, and case study-
based critical thinking exercises.
