Poorly written,

This review is from: Pharmacological Aspects of Nursing Care (Paperback)
This is one of the worst textbooks I have come across in my educational career, if not THE worst. These are clearly smart authors who can't write themselves out of a paperbag. Finding information in this book is like going on a treasure hunt, but sometimes there is no treasure. It is neither clear nor concise. I am sorry I elected to take this class at a school that uses this book. There are so many other choices that are far better to read.
I was hoping the CD included with the text would be helpful, to offset the text. However the CD won't work until you download a patch; a patch that was created two years prior, in 2007. Thanks for the heads-up Delmar Learning! If you are stuck with this book for a class, I'm sorry. If you can, find another class that uses a different book. There are many online choices to choose from!

textbook,
This review is from: Pharmacological Aspects of Nursing Care (Paperback)
This text was required by my nursing school, however, I have another degree in Paramedicine in which the pharmacology book I used then was far better.

This review is from: Pharmacological Aspects of Nursing Care (Study Guide) (Paperback)
This is a terrible textbook. It is dry and jumps from one subject to another. There are also way too many abbreviations. I don't want to read 5 or 6 abbreviations on one page at the beginning of a chapter and then be expected to keep them straight for the rest of the chapter. When that happens over and over, you start remembering the abbreviation, but not what it stands for. I also purchased the study guide...don't bother. I located 5 wrong answers (according to the textbook) before I gave up trying to use it. Chapter 34 even had one answer as "e", but only a-d answer choices were provided.
