Trusted by nursing educators for more than 50 years, Introductory Clinical Pharmacology enters its 13th Edition with a new author team bringing fresh perspective to a proven text. Felicia Crump, Christy M. G. Solorio, and Susan M. Ford combine its trusted, accessible approach with a stronger emphasis on clinical judgment, realistic client care, and meaningful application of pharmacology knowledge.
Written to make a challenging subject more approachable, Introductory Clinical Pharmacology, 13th Edition, translates complex pharmacology into clear, concise language and organizes drug information in a consistent framework. This structure helps students recognize patterns across drug classes rather than memorize disconnected facts, so they can understand not only what they need to know about medications, but how that knowledge informs safe nursing care.
Pharmacology comes to life through fully rewritten Unfolding Case Studies that follow diverse clients as their medication needs and health conditions evolve. Realistic client stories, integrated practice questions, and reflection encourage students to determine what they notice, what matters most, and how they should respond. Clients and health conditions reappear across chapters, helping students make connections among medications, comorbidities, polypharmacy, continuity of care, and the responsibilities of the practical nurse.
Clinical Judgment sections further connect essential drug knowledge with assessment, nursing action, monitoring, client education, and evaluation. An intentional emphasis on generic drug names supports NCLEX-PN® preparation and safe clinical practice, while Nursing Alerts, Lifespan Considerations, Drug Interaction Tables, Herbal Considerations, and accessible Summary Drug Tables keep attention focused on safe, inclusive, client-centered medication decisions.
Building on more than five decades of classroom trust, the 13th Edition gives faculty a contemporary, highly teachable approach to pharmacology while helping students build the understanding, judgment, and confidence they need to administer medications safely and care for the whole client.
