Everything you need to know about Prescribing...at a Glance!
The principles of drug therapies are fundamental to medical
practitioners in all branches; but are often difficult to get to grips
with. Prescribing at a Glance addresses the most common uses of
prescription drugs, and follows progress from dose calculation and
administration to monitoring the effects in the treatments of major
presenting problems.
With a focus on prescribing, this user-friendly guide helps
practitioners to develop crucial knowledge and skills, including
establishing accurate drug histories, planning appropriate therapies,
writing safe and legal prescriptions, critically appraising the
prescribing of others, patient support, accessing reliable information
about medicines, and detecting adverse drug reactions.
