Dear Instructor:

Having been involved in the education of students in most areas of allied health and nursing for the past 21 years, I realize that it is important to teach the very basics and then build on those elemental concepts.We should never assume that students already know a concept. All students who will be working with patients someday must master why a medication is being ordered, how to administer that medication safely, and, if unfamiliar with the medication, where to find the information they need to educate themselves and their patients about that medication. Patient safety is dependent on students learning these concepts, and we are foremost patient advocates in the allied health fields. Allow me to highlight a few approaches used in

this textbook:

• I kept vocabulary fairly simple. This allows the instruc- tor to test the student’s ability to understand pharma- cology rather than medical terminology. In addition, if not confronted with terminology that is too advanced, the student may not be as likely to lose heart and give up.• I used a writing tone that creates an atmosphere of shared learning. Rather than approaching the student as the all-knowing, wise author, I selected words like “we” or “us” to help students feel that I am on a journey of discovery with them.• I purposely tried to have 21 relatively short chapters.After instructors allow for tests, practicing injections, snow days, and so on, they may find that they can easily cover one to two chapters per class period. Most units are fairly small, at five or fewer chapters, which means that instructors can test frequently and assess comprehension before moving on to more challenging chapters.• I describe several methods of approaching math prob- lems. Many students are fearful of math. What I have dis- covered over my years in education is that students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some of them have very basic math skills, learned 20 or more years ago, whereas others have very advanced math skills. Essentially, as the saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat, and that applies to math as well. Strategies that work for many students do not work for others and vice versa. However, most students are able to work through this difficulty, and the “aha” moment when the light bulb goes on is very rewarding to see.• Drugs are discovered, approved, or taken off the market almost daily, so making students memorize specif- ic drugs is a losing battle in most instances. Instead, the exercises attempt to teach students the research methods needed to locate the most current information about drugs.• Key terms are highlighted in bold print. To facilitate memorization, instructors can ask students to make flash cards of all bold terms, which can then be studied for tests.• Because this book emphasizes drug research, instruc- tors can use this book year after year. Instructors may require students to obtain a current drug handbook or go to the internet for information on current drugs, but they will not need to adapt lesson plans to changing textbooks.• The contents of this book match the current standards of the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) for CAAHEP-accredited courses. Be sure to instruct the students to research the top 50 drugs, which are frequent- ly on the Certified Medical Assisting Exam.• Because the new AAMA standards include “theory of IV therapy,” instructors will find that this book integrates IV therapy into chapters on supplies, routes, calculations, and administration. In addition, Appendix J expands on IV therapy for those populations that will be seeing this in their practice.• Even if your students are not currently involved in IV therapy, they may become more involved in the future in (at the very least) monitoring patients receiving IV therapy. Make sure to emphasize the importance of stu- dents' checking state regulations regarding their scope of practice and IV therapy.• The available online resources for instructors on www.fadavis.com.com include a test bank with more than 1,000 questions to
