Book Preface

The eighteenth edition of Clayton’s Basic Pharmacology for Nurses, in the tradition of the book’s standards first established in 1957, advocates the administration of medication with safety and precision while focusing on medication safety through medication monitoring and patient education. In the practice setting, the nurse not only must demonstrate knowledge of the underlying disease process but also must be able to perform an accurate assessment to identify individualized nursing diagnoses. The nurse must also plan and implement care in a manner that involves the patient as an active participant in decisions affecting care. Therefore, a primary concern throughout this book is the integration of patient teaching about drug therapy to enable the patient to reach therapeutic goals and attain an optimum level of health. The nurse must also validate patient understanding to ensure that the individual has the ability to provide safe self-care and monitoring of the prescribed treatment plan. User friendly in content, structure, and layout, the text is concise and easy to read. With its emphasis on the seven Rights of Drug Administration (right drug, right time, right indication, right dosage, right patient, right route, and right documentation),Clayton’s Basic Pharmacology for Nurses provides students with the information needed to provide safe, effective nursing care for patients receiving drug therapy.
