Lehne's Pharmacology for Nursing Care 12th Edition by Burchum & Rosenthal (2024)

Lehne's 12th Edition by Jacqueline Rosenjack Burchum, DNSc FNP-BC CNE and Laura D. Rosenthal, DNP RN ACNP-BC FAANP is a selected title for Doody's Core Titles 2026 and the leading resource for nursing students seeking both conceptual understanding and clinical application. Published by Elsevier, this text transforms learning from rote memorization into meaningful, practice-ready knowledge.

The twelfth edition uses an engaging, accessible writing style to explain principles, physiology, and pathophysiology for each major family. Its prototype approach focuses attention on the most important medications, limiting discussion of interactions and adverse effects to those with the greatest clinical relevance — making content more manageable and clinically useful for students and practicing nurses alike.

Key topics include kinetics, dynamics, autonomic topics, cardiovascular agents, anti-infectives, central nervous system agents, chemotherapy, endocrine topics, and women's and men's health medications. Each chapter integrates nursing implications, patient teaching priorities, and NCLEX®-style review questions to reinforce clinical decision-making and licensure readiness.

This text is ideal for nursing students in BSN, MSN, and NP programs and for advanced practice nurses preparing for the NCLEX-RN, FNP certification (AANP/ANCC), ACNP, and other APRN board examinations.
