This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Suresh K. Sharma, written for nursing students (नर्सिंग विद्यार्थी) studying pharmacology and pathology together. It is Volume I of a two-volume series. (cite index="391-1">The textbook has been precisely written as per the revised syllabus of the Indian Nursing Council for the B.Sc Nursing programme, and represents an attempt at comprehensive, lucid, illustrative and example-oriented presentation of pharmacology and pathology. (cite index="390-1">Its stated features run as follows: simple and lucid content, providing current concepts and principles of pharmacology and pathology while incorporating their applications to healthcare and nursing practice; an easy-to-follow, user-friendly and self-explanatory presentation in simple language; an applied approach that equips the student to carry knowledge into clinical practice and patient care; an example-oriented treatment, with numerous nursing examples cited on the applicability of pharmacology and pathology knowledge in nursing practice; illustrative presentation, with content supplemented by illustrations to facilitate quick review and recall of important concepts; and revision MCQs covering the topics for rapid revision. The design decision worth noting is the pairing of the two subjects in a single applied text. A nurse needs pathology to understand what a disease is doing and pharmacology to understand what the drug is doing about it, and teaching them together — with the nursing implication attached to each — is closer to how the knowledge is actually used at the bedside than two separate books would be. (cite index="391-1">The second edition runs to around 494–516 pages in paperback. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Textbook of Pharmacology & Pathology for Nurses-I' का यह द्वितीय संस्करण डॉ. सुरेश के. शर्मा द्वारा लिखा गया है। यह पुस्तक भारतीय नर्सिंग परिषद (INC) के संशोधित बी.एससी. नर्सिंग पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार तैयार की गई है और दो खंडों की शृंखला का पहला खंड है। इसमें फार्माकोलॉजी एवं पैथोलॉजी — दोनों विषयों की वर्तमान अवधारणाओं और सिद्धांतों को नर्सिंग अभ्यास तथा रोगी देखभाल में उनके अनुप्रयोग के साथ प्रस्तुत किया गया है। भाषा सरल एवं स्वतः स्पष्ट है। पुस्तक की एक प्रमुख विशेषता यह है कि इसमें अनेक नर्सिंग उदाहरण दिए गए हैं, जो बताते हैं कि इन विषयों का ज्ञान वास्तविक नर्सिंग व्यवहार में किस प्रकार काम आता है। विषय-वस्तु को चित्रों से सुसज्जित किया गया है, जिससे महत्त्वपूर्ण अवधारणाओं का त्वरित दोहराव संभव होता है, तथा परीक्षा से पहले तेज़ी से दोहराने हेतु रिवीज़न MCQs भी दिए गए हैं। यह पुस्तक बी.एससी. नर्सिंग, पोस्ट-बेसिक बी.एससी. एवं GNM विद्यार्थियों के लिए उपयुक्त है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
