• Learning exercises include true/false, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, and short-answer questions at the end of each chapter, with answers at the end of the book.
• Did You Know? boxes offer interesting tidbits of historical or current pharmacology information, connecting the book's drug content to everyday situations.
• Clinical Alert icons point out possible adverse reactions and toxic effects.
• Discussion of pharmacodynamics and drug classifications focuses on radiopaque contrast media used in imaging procedures, using clearly written text and useful tables.
• Pharmacokinetics coverage describes how drugs are absorbed, metabolized, distributed, and eliminated.
• Complete coverage of emergency procedures in response to adverse reactions to contrast media includes crash cart procedures and drugs used to treat cardiac and/or respiratory arrest and how to administer them appropriately.
• Updates on all contrast agents.
• New information on the use of contrast agents in ultrasound.
• New Drug Classifications chapter.
• New chapter on drug-related emergencies includes case studies.
