For courses covering pharmacology, and/or preparing nursing students for the pharmacology components of the NCLEX-RN® examination.   PEARSON REVIEWS & RATIONALES: PHARMACOLOGY WITH "NURSING REVIEWS & RATIONALES", 3/e provides a clear, concentrated, and up-to-date review of today’s “need to know” knowledge for effective pharmacology. Developed and reviewed by a large team of nurse educators, it can be used by current nursing students as a study aid, for NCLEX-RN® exam preparation, or by practicing nurses seeking comprehensive yet concise review of this discipline.

Next, it provides complete chapters on each of the following: anti-infectives; antineoplastics; blood modifiers; medications for the cardiac, endocrine, gastrointestinal, immune, integumentary, neurological, musculoskeletal, renal, respiratory, and reproductive systems; psychiatric medications; visual and auditory medications; and herbal agents.

If you're like me, you prefer for a book to give you the most important points you'll absolutely need to know as a nurse. I love the reviews and rationales series for that fact and I use them much more than the actual textbook which I still leave around for reference. These books are great for nclex style questions as well. I also love that they have PLENTY of space in order for you to write you're own notes. If you can, get the newer pharmacology reviews and rationales. Has a little extra info if you would like to have it, however the second edition can get you through the semester. Good luck ladies and gents.

This is exactly what I needed in order to get a better understanding of what is expected of me and also provided a better understanding. I feel I will be using this book often for better understanding and although it is only me first week of nursing school I am already getting good use of it.

I ordered this book to help with a nursing course that required a high pass rate on an extensive NCLEX like pharmacology exam. This book way exceeded my expectations in preparing for the exam and I passed without any problems.

This book had good information for a review, but I have found so many incorrect answers to the practice questions! For example, in chapter 7 pre-test, number 10 is completely wrong! The rationale for the answer completely opposes what is listed as the correct answer! This book needs to be edited more carefully. As it is now, I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Amazing! It was suggested by my professor while taking pharmacology as a reference book to the big fat pharm text book we had. Loves the nursing considerations & patient educations!

I love all the R&R books, they help me prepare for tests. I used this for my first pharm test and passed. I sometimes use these books more than the text book.

The perfect review book once you have actually read the textbook. It is a very 'straight to the point' read.

Love this. The lay out makes it easy amd quick to read and reference and is a must have for studying.
