Why a pharmacist wrote this
I have spent three decades watching good nurses get hurt by what nobody taught them in pharmacology class. Not the mechanism of action. The practical things: that fentanyl pushed fast can lock a chest wall, that furosemide pushed fast can take someone's hearing, that a 1 mg dose of hydromorphone and a 1 mL dose are not the same thing. Those lessons usually come from an incident report. They should come from a flashcard.
Every card in Pharm Rounds answers the questions NCLEX actually asks: what do I assess before I give it, what is the one lab, what does the patient report, and what do I never do. Mechanism is included only when it explains the nursing action.
What's inside
30 cards on administration hazards: rate-dependent reactions, wrong-route catastrophes, concentration errors, look-alike pairs. The set no other deck has.
Cardiac through PK/PD. Every card tagged by type so you can drill only monitoring, only interactions, only nursing priority.
Multi-step patient cases with four equal-length choices and a written rationale for every option, including the wrong ones.
Mark each card. Review-only mode feeds back just the ones you missed. Your weak spots become your study list.
ICS-formoterol relievers, AUC-guided vancomycin, low-dose naloxone titration. Where the exam lags practice, the card says so.
Every card read and approved by Greg Perry, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP.
