3. Focused on safe and effective drug administration, Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology, 8th Edition aids in understanding the principles of pharmacology and preventing medication mistakes. It emphasizes safety by illustrating the workings of medications and drug classes, rather than requiring rote memorization of individual drugs, enabling comprehension of why drugs are administered and when they should be used. Safety is also emphasized through an interactive assessment of mathematics and drug dosage calculations on the Evolve companion website. Penned by Dr. Marilyn Edmunds, a nationally acclaimed journal editor and nurse practitioner, Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology highlights ‘must-know’ medications – those encountered most frequently in clinical practice.
   • Emphasis on understanding drug classes rather than memorizing specific drugs enhances comprehension of the effects and uses of drug classes and provides a scaffold for safe, effective practice as new drugs enter the market.
