High-yield coverage of common infectious disease states that every pharmacy student needs to know
Rotations are essential to the development of skills needed to practice pharmacy, yet there's very little clear guidance for students seeking to prepare for and make the most of their rotations. Guide to Clinical Hospital Rotations provides an expert coverage of everything you need to succeed, including signs and symptoms, diagnostic considerations of differential diagnosis, treatment algorithms for empiric therapy and specific step-down therapy, and monitoring of the disease state. The authors describe the disease, first line of treatment, and DX treatment monitoring.
Chapters cover microbiology, antimicrobial regimen selection, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, influenza, respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, skin infections, infectious endocarditis, sepsis and septic shock, HIV, tuberculosis, and much more.
