Focusing on the knowledge that advanced practice nurses and physician assistants specifically require for safe and efficient prescribing, Lehne’s Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants, Second Edition builds on the same foundation of concisely explained, current, and clinically relevant content as the reliable Lehne undergraduate text. For novice prescribers, three introductory chapters offer fundamental information in the areas of rational drug selection, prescription writing, prescriptive authority, and encouraging favourable drug therapy results. The medications that prescribers will most frequently encounter in clinical practice are the topic of core drug chapters. With the addition of additional bulleted Key Prescribing Considerations and Black Box Warnings, pharmacotherapeutic decision-making is also given significant attention. Completely new chapters on immunomodulators, muscarinic antagonists, and genetic and genomic considerations are included in the second edition, along with updated text throughout. It’s everything aspiring physician assistants and advanced practice nurses need to become secure and productive prescribers!

Proposing beneficial outcomes of pharmacological therapy, rational medication selection and prescription writing, and prescriptive authority are only a few of the subjects covered in introductory chapters designed with prescribers’ needs in mind.
Pharmacotherapeutic content that has been carefully chosen reflects the medications that prescribers most frequently see and use. The focus is on the agents that are most frequently used now rather than the first medication to be discovered or created in each class. Acute care medications are covered after primary care drugs, when applicable, in each chapter.
UNIQUE! Pedagogical aids with a prescriber focus help reinforce the most crucial facts for prescribers.
Throughout the text, integrated coverage of Canadian trade names is indicated with the well-known maple leaf emblem.
