Book Description

Pharmacology (Including Fundamentals of Prescribing Module) is an English medium textbook for B.Sc. Nursing III and IV Semester students. Pharmacology-I introduces the subject: sources and dosage forms of drugs, routes of administration, prescriptions, drug calculations, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and the rational use of drugs. It then covers antiseptics and disinfectants and drugs acting on the gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and integumentary systems, followed by antimicrobials such as penicillins, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides, and antitubercular, antimalarial and antiretroviral drugs, with the role of nurses highlighted throughout. Pharmacology-II deals with drugs for eye, ear, nose and throat disorders, the urinary system and the nervous system, hormonal drugs, contraceptives and drugs for medical termination of pregnancy, and drugs used during antenatal care, labour and the postnatal period. It also covers drugs for de-addiction, CPR and emergencies, IV fluids, poisoning, vitamins, vaccines and sera under the Universal Immunization Programme, anticancer drugs, and alternative systems of medicine. The Fundamentals of Prescribing module explains the prescriptive role of nurse practitioners, legal and ethical issues, the principles and steps of prescribing, and prescribing competencies. Written by Dr. Tripti Arora and Parvati Choudhary, the 2024 edition has 408 pages. Useful for B.Sc. Nursing III and IV Semester students.
