Pharmacology and the Nursing Process
Pharmacology and the Nursing Process
Title: Pharmacology and the Nursing Process Edition: 10th Anniversary Edition Authors: Lilley • Rainforth Collins • Snyder Publisher: Elsevier
Cover Design: The cover features a cool, layered blue palette — sweeping geometric planes in varying shades of sky blue, steel blue, and deep navy create a clean, modern, professional aesthetic. A light gray header band at the top carries "TENTH Anniversary EDITION" with "Anniversary" in italic script for a celebratory feel, and the large numeral "10" prominently displayed. The title is set in large, elegant white display type across two lines in the upper center. The authors' names appear in bold white caps below the photo strip, and the Elsevier logo and Evolve access badge sit at the bottom.
Cover Photography: A horizontal strip of five clinical photographs runs across the middle of the cover, each depicting a different aspect of medication administration and nursing practice — pills and a stethoscope, a blue asthma inhaler, IV tubing and syringes in a clinical setting, a gloved hand administering an injection, and a hand holding a small medication cup with a red liquid. Together they create a concise visual summary of the pharmacological nursing skills covered within.
About the Book: A well-established nursing pharmacology textbook that integrates drug knowledge directly with the nursing process framework. Its tenth anniversary edition marks a milestone in nursing education, continuing its focus on safe medication administration, clinical reasoning, and patient-centered care.
Audience: Undergraduate nursing students in pharmacology and medication administration courses.
