Product Description
Pharmacology for Nurses, 5th Edition, is the thoroughly revised and updated edition of my popular textbook, prepared as per the new syllabus prescribed by the Indian Nursing Council (INC). I have organized the matter as per the semester pattern and kept the writing simple, easy and clear throughout, so BSc Nursing students can build a working understanding of drug therapy without wading through unnecessary complexity. This edition adds more flowcharts and diagrams to explain every important mechanism of action, brings in new topics prescribed by the latest syllabus, and revises the text at several places based on reviews by concerned superspecialists and subject experts. The book covers the complete nursing pharmacology curriculum across 12 sections and 35 chapters—from general pharmacology, prescriptions and drug calculations, through drugs acting on the gastrointestinal, respiratory, autonomic, cardiovascular, endocrine, skin, urinary and central nervous systems, to a full chemotherapy section on antimicrobials, antitubercular, antimalarial, antiviral, antifungal and anthelmintic drugs. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: as the core pharmacology textbook mapped chapter-by-chapter to the Revised INC syllabus, organized semester-wise for direct classroom and exam use. Why This Book Helps: Keeps pace with the revised syllabus: matter is reorganized per the semester pattern and new topics prescribed in the latest INC syllabus are added, so students are never studying an outdated chapter map. Turns mechanisms into pictures: additional flowcharts and diagrams in this edition explain every important mechanism of action instead of leaving it to dense prose. Builds the practical drug-calculation skill nurses actually need: worked examples cover percentage-solution dilutions, the alligation method, and pediatric dosage formulae (Young's, Clark's and Fried's), alongside a dedicated Latin-abbreviation reference for reading prescriptions correctly. Turns bedside safety into an explicit chapter feature: Nursing implications are called out for all relevant chapters, connecting the pharmacology to what a nurse must actually watch for in a patient. Built for exam revision, not just first reading: mnemonics to help memorize topics, a compare-and-contrast series to tell similar drug classes apart, and chapter-end MCQs for quick self-testing. Key Features: Fully revised, semester-wise organization as per the Revised INC Syllabus for BSc Nursing. Additional flowcharts and diagrams explaining every important mechanism of action. Nursing implications highlighted for all relevant chapters. Compare-and-contrast series, mnemonics, and chapter-end MCQs for quick revision. Dedicated drug-calculation and Latin-abbreviation reference chapter with worked pediatric-dosage and dilution examples. Read more
