A classroom-developed, student-tested system that increases pharmacology test scores…decreases and prevents medication errors in the clinical setting…improves NCLEX pharmacology scores…and expands understanding of pharmacological agents! Inside a practical, flip-top box are 189 illustrated, test yourself review cards that cover critical clinical information for nearly 400 of the top generic medications, color-coded by body system and cross referenced by drug classification. These flash cards are not only the ideal supplement to any pharmacology or medical-surgical course, but also handy for care planning and exam prep. And, you can count on them for accuracy, because each card is based on content from Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses.
KEY FEATURES
A color-coded, body-system organization reflects the information common to classes of medications—knowledge crucial to NCLEX success and to reducing medication errors.- Each card features a single generic drug or a medication group, and details…action • use • pre-administration vital signs • laboratory data assessment • drug levels • patient teaching • and more.- Drugs are cross-referenced to potential nursing diagnosis and other indications at the bottom of each card.- Common abbreviations appear on each card, with a summary of the abbreviations on separate, introductory cards.- A comprehensive alphabetical Index makes it easy to locate drugs within the deck by trade, generic, or Canadian brand name.
This set is only the first side of each card in the series. The reverse side of each card which contains the majority of the drugs information is missing. Without the reverse side, the cards are very limited in their uses. :/ Essentially one gets the generic/trade name, plus phonetic spelling on the front side, while useful information is absent in these downloads.
