"155 cases show you how apply the principles of pharmacotherapy to real-world clinical practice The perfect study companion to DiPiro's Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach Pharmacotherapy Casebook sharpens the problem-solving and clinical decision-making skills you need to identify and resolve the most commonly encoutnererd drug problems. The eighth edition features 155 patients cases is organized by body system to correspond with the organization of DiPiro's Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach. Everything you need to develop expertise in pharmacotherapy decision making: realistic patient presentations include medical history, physical examination, and laboratory data, followed by a series of questions using a systematic, problem-solving approach ; and a wide range of cases -- from single disease states to multiple disease states and drug-related problems Appendix contains valuable information on pharmacy abbreviations, laboratory tests, and mathematical conversion factors, anthropometrics, and sample responses to case questions"--Publisher's description
