Pharmacology Online to Accompany Pharmacology and the Nursing Process (User Guide and Access Code)

Corresponding to Lilley's Pharmacology and the Nursing Process, 4th Edition, this collection of innovative, interactive assets and ready-to-use modules helps faculty build an online or web-enhanced course that facilitates understanding of nursing pharmacology like nothing else! It includes animation-enhanced self-study modules, branching case studies, interactive learning activities, unique Roadside Assistance video clips, an online drug handbook, audio clips, animations, Discussion Threads, WebLinks, and more. This rich library of online assets can be used for a fully online or web-enhanced course. Instructor resources are available; contact your sales representative for details. Users can work through 12 ready-to-use, animation-enhanced self-study modules on the basic principles of pharmacology as often as needed to ensure comprehension, then submit an NCLEX® Examination-style quiz for grading. 20 ready-to-use interactive case studies - one for each Lilley "Part" -- prompt users to make patient care decisions. At the end of each case, the user submits an NCLEX Examination-style quiz. Users can work through 114 interactive learning activities -- two for each chapter in the Lilley textbook. An online, full-text version of Mosby's 2005 Drug Consult for Nurses helps users work through issues of drug dosage and administration. 16 Roadside Assistance video clips feature nationally known pharmacologist and speaker Alan P. Agins, PhD, presenting core pharmacology concepts with a uniquely memorable flair. Users can view 38 animations -- every animation from the self-study modules, plus bonus animations. Students can listen to audio clips of the pronunciation of more than 600 key terms in pharmacology, including the generic names of the top 100 drugs and the key drugs identified in the text. A dynamic library of WebLinks corresponds to every chapter and is updated quarterly to ensure currency. Power-packed instructor assets include: A test bank with over 500 items in a format consistent with the NCLEX Examination, each coded with correct answer, nursing process step, NCLEX Client Needs category, and cognitive type. A PowerPoint collection with approximately 2,100 customizable text slides. A 400-item image collection with every image from the Lilley textbook, all of the images from the self-study modules, and additional images in pathophysiology and drug administration. A collection of 38 animations (every animation from the self-study modules as well as bonus animations) to incorporate into online presentations. 30 thought-provoking Discussion Threads to post for student discussion.
