This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100%% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam?

This book presents 200 SBA-style and 50 EMQ-style questions arranged by sub-specialty area as well as a practice exam of random questions. A clear discussion of how the correct answer was reached and other options ruled out for every question is given at the end of each section, making this book an excellent learning aid during all stages of undergraduate clinical studies and beyond into postgraduate training, and particularly while preparing for medical finals. |
