Synopsis

Pharmaceutical Care Practice introduces a new practice paradigm, moving the profession of pharmacy from one involved with simply the dispensing of drugs to one involving the management of a patient's drug therapy needs.

More than ever before, the pharmacist will be responsible for a patient's drug therapy assessment, understanding their history, developing a care plan, achieving therapeutic goals and scheduling follow-up attitude, behaviors, commitments, concerns, ethics, functions, knowledge, responsibilities and skills on the provision of drug therapy to achieve definite outcomes that improve the patient's quality of life.

This important book is meant to update the clinical skills of practicing pharmacists, and will serve the needs of students as a core introductory textbook.
