A Companion CD includes Animations, Video Clips, interactive Drug Dosage Calculators, an Audio Glossary, and an expanded collection of Review Questions for the NCLEX-PN® Examination. A focus on understanding drug classes rather than memorizing individual drugs helps you understand the actions and uses of drug classes and provides a framework for safe, effective practice as new drugs are introduced and as existing drugs are withdrawn from the market. Full-color design includes 195 drawings and photographs. Coverage of math review and medication administration includes three chapters on math review and drug dosage calculation, to promote safe drug administration. Consistent chapter format covers each drug class in a practical format including Action, Uses, Adverse Reactions, Drug and Food Interactions, and Nursing Implications and Patient Teaching sections. Application of the nursing process to each drug class includes Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation, and Patient and Family Teaching. Key content is highlighted, as in all of Elsevier's LPN Threads textbooks, with features such as Memory Joggers, Clinical Goldmines, Clinical Landmines, Pediatric Considerations, and Complementary and Alternative Therapies boxes.

Pharmacology and the Nursing Process in LPN/LVN Practice chapter focuses on today's LPN/LVN practice environment, including the increased levels of responsibility, increasing resource constraints, and common cultural misunderstandings. Coverage of patient teaching and cultural awareness now emphasizes pharmacology rather than disease processes, relating patient teaching, health literacy, and lifespan and cultural considerations to drug administration. Updated diabetes coverage reflects the latest developments in drug therapy for patients with diabetes mellitus. Coverage of obesity management is expanded to reflect the national emphasis on reducing obesity in favor of healthy lifestyles that reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and related "lifestyle diseases." Expanded coverage of drug-resistant infections includes MRSA and other drug-resistant organisms.

To pinpoint effective curative solutions, biochemical pharmacologists use drugs to discover new information about biosynthetic pathways and their kinetics. Using a more chemistry- and mechanism-oriented approach than standard pharmacology books, Introduction to Biochemical Pharmacology is a one-stop reference that focuses on how a drug interacts with a target receptor or enzyme at the molecular level. Learning is reinforced through the use of end-of-chapter exercises, PowerPoint slides, and a problem-and-solutions manual.
