About this book

Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurse Prescribers 5th edition by Teri Moser Woo and Marylou V. Robinson focuses on the pharmacology knowledge advanced practice nurses need to prescribe medications safely and effectively in primary care. The book connects basic pharmacologic principles with rational drug selection, legal prescribing responsibilities, patient-specific factors, adverse reactions, and follow-up monitoring so nurse prescribers can move from diagnosis to an appropriate medication plan.

The 5th edition covers the role of the advanced practice nurse as prescriber, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, rational drug selection, legal and professional prescribing issues, adverse drug reactions, pharmacogenomics, nutrition and nutraceuticals, herbal therapies and cannabis, information technology, and pharmacoeconomics. System-based chapters address drugs affecting the autonomic nervous system, central nervous system, cardiovascular and renal systems, respiratory system, hematologic and immune systems, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, reproductive system, bones and joints, skin, infectious diseases, inflammatory conditions, and eye and ear disorders.
