Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy
Rebar, Heimgartner, Gersch · 5th Edition
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy (5th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 20 chapters.
Overview
Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy (5th Edition) takes one of nursing school's densest subjects and organizes it drug class by drug class, and this study guide is written from scratch to match it chapter for chapter — all 20 chapters — so you review in the same order the book teaches and always know where a medication group belongs. For every chapter you get a plain-English summary of the key concepts, the chapter's learning objectives laid out up front, and NCLEX-style practice questions with a full rationale for every answer, so it teaches you why each choice is right or wrong rather than just handing you a key. You'll start with the fundamentals — nursing pharmacology basics, safe medication administration, and patient education — then move drug class by drug class through dermatologic, pain, autonomic nervous system, neurologic and neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematologic, endocrine, sensory, and psychotropic drugs, followed by anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant, antineoplastic, and fluid-and-electrolyte drugs, before finishing with a dedicated NCLEX-style practice review chapter. Every chapter is matched to the 5th Edition's numbering so your review stays in sync with lecture. As you study you'll practice connecting each drug class to its mechanism, common adverse effects, and the nursing considerations that matter most at the bedside — the kind of applied pharmacology reasoning that dominates NCLEX pharmacology questions. The closing practice chapter is treated the same way as every other chapter here, with its own fresh set of NCLEX-style questions and rationales rather than a repeat of earlier ones. Whether you're prepping for a pharmacology unit exam or reviewing medication content before the licensure exam, this printable companion is built to be highlighted, annotated, and kept for the whole program. Original, independently written, and not affiliated with the publisher.
Aligned with undergraduate pharmacology courses and written in an NCLEX-RN style — the practice questions mirror how drug-class content is tested on course exams and the licensure exam.
