About the Book

As nurses gain greater responsibility and nurse practitioners become a larger group the pressure on nurses to prescribe accurately and independently increases. At the same time, the general view among lecturers is that students of medicine as well as nursing and pharmacy are arriving at university with poor basic maths skills.This book offers a practical guide that will take students through into the start of their clinical work as a companion to drug prescribing, preparation and delivery. Using a clear, step-by-step approach, it combines the essential theory of pharmacology with the implications for professional practice. It moves from explanations of the simple through to complex formulae relating to the many drugs used today, and includes worked examples and problems for self-assessment.One of the features of this second edition is that it has moved away from hospital bias to include more community issues, for example contolled analgesia. It also includes more examples of problems and presents the answers separately.
