,About the pagination of this eBook
This eBook contains a series of flash cards. In the printed version of the
book, the front and flip sides of each flash card are numbered with the
same card number. Since our eBooks cannot accommodate duplicate
page numbers, we have inserted the suffix “a” after the card number on
the flip side – or answer side – of the cards.
For example, the front side or question side of flash card #1 is numbered
1. The flip side or answer side of flash card #1 is numbered 1a.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all the hard-working nursing students who used my Pharm Phlash!,
survived it, and learned. You are the amazing, transformed persons who sustain me in my
practice as an instructor.
I'd also like to thank all the wonderful people I've worked with at F.A. Davis Company,
including Tom, Nora, and Julie. You've made this journey a pleasant one.
