Medicines Management for Nurses at a Glance is the perfect companion
for study and revision for pre-registration nursing and healthcare
students. Combining superb full colour illustrations with accessible and
informative text, it provides an easy-to-read and supportive guide to
the key pharmacological knowledge nursing students and registered nurses
need to know.
Divided into three sections, the first introduces key topics within
clinical pharmacology and medicines management including, numeracy,
pharmacokinetics, routes of administration, and pharmacodynamics. The
second and final sections cover the management of medicines for common
medical conditions, drug interactions, side effects, and safe and
effective prescribing.
- Written specifically for nurses, it covers the fundamentals of
pharmacology as they apply to nursing practice.
- Breaks down complex concepts in an accessible way, providing helpful
overviews of all key pharmacological topics.
