Fundamentals of Pharmacology for Veterinary Technicians by Janet Romich
More than memorizing drug lists, Romich's FUNDAMENTALS OF PHARMACOLOGY FOR VETERINARY TECHNICIANS, 3E builds a true understanding of animal medications and their potentially adverse effects, empowering veterinary and animal lab techs on the frontlines of animal patient care. Chapters integrate discussions on basic anatomy and physiology with those about drugs and the diseases they treat. To prepare readers for certification and success at work, content also includes techniques for administering drugs, drug actions, dosing calculations, drug approval processes, safety and legal issues, pharmacy management, job duties, and clinical tips. And to help future vet techs truly master pharmacology, the MindTap digital platform supports learning with practice quizzes, games, ongoing updates, and a full suite of supplemental resources they can rely on during the course and beyond.
