Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice PDF
The content of the book is as expected, but I am highly frustrated at the charts and tables. The print on the charts/ tables are too small to read and when you try to enlarge the print, the letters appear really fuzzy. So basically, the charts and tables are useless. I wish I purchased the actual textbook rather than the kindle version. Kindle really needs to fix this because it is a terrible inconvenience for students! So I give poor reviews and do not recommend this kindle book to anyone...just buy the actual textbook!By Noreen
I really have nothing to compare this book to, but I think it's good for what it's made for. For an overview, pharacology class after which the student will become a prescriber then it's a good book. I actually enjoy reading this because it's succinct, yet what you want to know is included. This is one of few textbooks ever (undergrad and grad included) that I plan to keep.By Brian West
