Clinical Chemistry: Principles, Techniques, and Correlations, Ninth Edition is the most student-friendly clinical chemistry text available today. The Ninth Edition keeps students at the forefront of what continues to be one of the most rapidly advancing areas of laboratory medicine with clear explanations that balance analytic principles, techniques, and correlation of results with coverage of disease states. The book not only demonstrates the how of clinical testing, but also the what, why, and when of testing correlations to help students develop the knowledge and interpretive and analytic skills they’ll need in their future careers.

Convenient, practical, and portable.

Revised and updated, the second edition of this practical resource remains the only advanced practice guide to provide an overview of the major DSM-5 disorders across the lifespan and complete clinical guidelines for their psychopharmacologic management. Compiled by expert practitioners in psychiatric care and pharmacy, it is designed specifically for use by nurse practitioners and other primary caregivers in clinical practice.

Organized for quick access to key information, this health psychology resource includes the clinical features of each disorder, its symptoms, and information about the most current and effective medications for its management. Tables outline first- and second-line drug therapies along with adjunctive treatment options for each disorder. Medications are organized by classification and include the essential information needed to safely prescribe and monitor a patient’s response. Brand and generic names, drug class, customary dosage, side effects, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics, precautions, and guidance for managing special populations are also covered. Convenient, practical, and portable, this guide is an invaluable reference for everyday clinical practice.
