As the need to be more cost-efficient in the use of research funding increases, biomedical researchers will be required to gain the maximum insight from each experiment that is conducted. Discovering Addiction brings the history of human and animal experimentation in addiction science into the present with a wealth of archival research and dozens of oral-history interviews with addiction researchers. Professor Campbell examines the birth of addiction sciencethe National Academy of Sciences's project to find a pharmacological fix for narcotics addiction in the late sand then explores the human and primate experimentation involved in the succeeding studies of the "opium problem," revealing how addiction science became "brain science" by the s.
Psychoactive drugs have always had multiple personalitiessome cause social problems; others solve themand the study of these drugs involves similar contradictions. Discovering Addiction enriches discussions of bioethics by exploring controversial topics, including the federal prison research that took place in the sa still unresolved debate that continues to divide the research communityand the effect of new rules regarding informed consent and the calculus of risk and benefit.
This fascinating volume is both an informative history and a thought-provoking guide that asks whether it is possible to differentiate between ethical and unethical research by looking closely at how science is made.

Aspirin could lead to bleeding, and a client it is the correct answer are given in boldface blue with a concussion does not need a chance of type. Rationales for why the other possible answer increased bleeding. Mannitol would not be contraindicated in a not in boldface type.
Mannitol would not be contraindicated in a A Client with a Head Injury client who has glaucoma. Cor pulmonale is right-sided heart fail- 1. The clients ABGs are not affected by the ure, often secondary to chronic obstruc- administration of mannitol; therefore, there tive pulmonary disease COPD.
