With the aid of new features and a new chapter on age-related factors, this new edition of Shlafer is designed to solve better the problems of the nursing instructor in teaching the student with little advanced training in pharmacology, and the traditional "pharmacologist" with little understanding of the nursing process. New features include a redesigned tables program, streamlined and updated content, perforated drug cards for all major prototypes and a conversion kit designed for courses with integrated pharmacology.
