Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care 11th Edition

Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care, Eleventh Edition by Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum, DNSc, FNP-BC, CNE and Laura D. Rosenthal, DNP, RN, ACNP-BC, FAANP — Published by Elsevier

Selected for Doody's Core Titles in Pharmacology, this trusted resource continues to make pharmacology engaging and approachable while helping students develop a thorough understanding of how drugs work and how to apply that knowledge safely in clinical practice. The book discusses physiology and pathophysiology for each major drug family, using drug prototypes to simplify learning, and focuses attention on the most clinically important content — limiting discussions of adverse effects and interactions to those that matter most for patient safety and nursing decision-making.

The Eleventh Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest advances in pharmacology and the publication of the DSM-5-TR, with new and expanded coverage of biologics, gene therapy, and precision medicine. Content is organized to take students from foundational principles of pharmacology through the major drug classes, with systems-based coverage spanning cardiovascular, endocrine, anti-infective, neurologic, and psychiatric agents, among others. Prioritized nursing implications are presented in consistently structured tables throughout each chapter, making it easy to translate pharmacological knowledge directly into safe, patient-centered care.

The NCLEX-style review questions, patient teaching content, and case-based learning features prepare students for both exam success and real-world nursing practice. Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum is an Associate Professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Laura D.

Lehne, whose foundational work over eight editions shaped this text into one of the most widely adopted pharmacology resources in nursing education.
