The chapter on substance abuse discusses the use of both by-prescription and illicit drugs in a culture that sometimes promotes dependence. Unit 3 until 12 are organized around the influence of drugs on various body system, with chapters that employ a unique clinical reasoning format. The basic purpose for a clinical reasoning format is to focus on pharmacotherapeutics thus ruling in some factors as germane to the drug decision and ruling out others because of their lesser importance to patient outcomes. The utility of the model come sfrom the systematic organization it provides for thinking, observing, and analyzing treatment regimens. In addition, it provides structure and rationale for specific activities and a mechanism for professional accountability.
