Overview

The NAPLEX® (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination®) is the standard licensing exam that all U.S. pharmacy students must pass to practice pharmacy. It’s an arduous 6-hour, 250-question exam that tests a daunting range of knowledge. In 2016 the pass rate fell to 86%. Preparing for the NAPLEX® by reviewing all the material from each pharmacy school course would be overwhelming. A far better approach would be to study only the information most relevant to the exam and to rehearse with lots of practice exam questions, and that’s what The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy contains. A current, one-volume compilation of pharmacy knowledge, The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy is also a popular reference for busy practitioners wishing to stay current. Key features: All 42 chapters—including 3 new ones: Fundamentals of Pharmacy Practice, Stroke, and Men’s Health—have been reviewed and revised by the authors and editorial team to provide up-to-date information and concepts essential to passing the NAPLEX® The Complete Review contains more than 900 practice exam questions and answers, all reviewed and many revised, plus explanations that reinforce key learning points A summary of a chapter’s contents (“Key Points”) and a “Study Guide Checklist” intended to help readers assess their readiness for the NAPLEX® now appear on the first page of every chapter Medication tables indicate the top 100 drugs in boldface to alert the reader to medicines in frequent use Selective cutting of content not directly pertinent to the NAPLEX® and newly designed pages, color, and more white space make this edition easier to read Seasoned advice from Peter A. Chyka on studying for and taking the NAPLEX®
