Seventh edition
by Dick R. Gourley
Preparing for the NAPLEX® (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination®) by reviewing all the material from each pharmacy school course would be overwhelming. A far better approach would be to study only the information most relevant to the exam, summarized in abbreviated bullet format, and that’s what The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy contains.
All chapters of the book were updated for this seventh edition. A current, one-volume compilation of pharmacy knowledge, The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy is also a popular reference for busy practitioners wishing to stay current.
Key Features:
- Top 200 drugs. The place to begin NAPLEX® preparation: learning the generic and trade names for the top 200 drugs (Appendices)
- Math. After drug names, pharmacy math is the most important single area to review (Chapter 1)
- Drug therapy for chronic and common diseases. This is the heart of today’s NAPLEX® and the subject of more than half this study guide’s 37 chapters
- Review questions. All chapters end with 20 or more practice exam questions and answers, plus explanations that reinforce key learning points
- Test questions on CD-ROM. The enclosed CD-ROM gives users 3 options: Learning Mode, which allows users to customize the test-taking experience; Certification Mode, which delivers the test as it was authored; and Flashcard Mode
- Seasoned advice on studying for and taking the NAPLEX® from James C. Eoff III, who has coordinated the board review course at the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy for more than 30 years
