Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice / 5th Edition by Arcangelo & Peterson

A pharmacology textbook tells you how a drug works. Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice tells you which one to write, for this patient, and how to tell whether it worked. That practical orientation is why it sits on so many nurse practitioner reading lists rather than a general pharmacology text.

What the book covers

• Principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics applied to prescribing decisions
• Disease-by-disease drug selection across cardiovascular, respiratory, infectious, endocrine, neurologic and psychiatric conditions
• Monitoring parameters, expected outcomes, and when to change agents
• Prescribing for special populations: pediatric, pregnant, geriatric and renally impaired patients
• Drug interactions, adverse effects, and patient education points
• Cost, adherence, and the practical constraints on a prescription

Who it’s for

Nurse practitioner and physician assistant students in an advanced pharmacology course, and practising APRNs and PAs who want a prescribing reference organised the way they think.
