This bestselling pharmacology book is an ideal starter text for student nurses and makes pharmacology less intimidating by focusing on the knowledge needed at pre-registration level in order to practice as a newly-qualified nurse. Noted for its clear layout and jargon-free language, this updated edition introduces pharmacology in a friendly, informative way. The book does not assume previous knowledge of pharmacology, or a level of confidence with maths in relation to drugs calculations.This edition has been carefully expanded to include a new chapter introducing drug calculations and measurements, more detail on drugs used in chronic conditions, as well as more coverage of pharmacology for older patients and for other specific groups such as children, pregnant women or those with minor illnesses. Case scenarios have also been added to encourage nurses to apply knowledge to a range of different people with different needs.
The book contains::
. 110 calculations and 120 multiple choice questions to help perfect your skills and assess learning
. Over 40 patient scenarios across a range of clinical settings
. References to key clinical tests, NMC standards and the latest NICE guidelines
