The most useful book I have used during my nurse training,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pharmacology and Drug Management for Nurses (Paperback)
As a student nurse we are given masses of books to read! A large area that needs to be revised is Pharmacology. This book is excellent. Not only does it allow you to search for particular drugs and their effects, but there are examples on all clinical areas most commonley used drugs. Examples being drug treatment in GI disorders, cardiovascular disorders and the central nervous system. As well as being really useful whilst on the ward, it also addresses the importance of policies and procedures whilst using drugs, and the control of medicines. A whole section is devoted to nurses roles as regards nurse prescribing, how to achieve effective drug therapy, drug reactions/ interactions and how to achieve patient compliance. Having read many books throughout my training this is the one that I fall back on the most and refer to for both practical guidance and to support my theorectical work. It is suitable for both degree and diploma level students and also for qualified nurses who need to extend their knowledge. I qualify soon and feel this book will become invaluable whilst I put my nursing theory into practice.

A must for student nurses!,

This review is from: Pharmacology and Medicines Management for Nurses (Paperback)
This book is brilliant for nurses and students alike! It is spilt into sections so you are able to search for a particular medicine, and find out about their side affects and what they do but also also allows you to search for medications used for specific illnesses / disorders.
The book is laid out in a user friendly manner, using simple language to explain concepts so is suitable for students that want to gain a basic understanding of medications. Not only does this book deal with numberous medications and their side affects but also covers the anatomy and physiology of systems. For example it looks indepth at the renal system covering the a and p of the kidneys, including their functions and looking in detail at renal failure.Within these sections are areas focusing on medications which would be used to treat particular illnesses. The book also looks at policies and procedures when administering medication, controlled drugs, and nurse prescribers, allowing students to gain a better understanding of how to administer medication and will be very useful when qualified, when putting theory into practice. The book uses a good range of diagrams, which are extremely helpful when covering the anatomy and physiology. The book is easy to navigate, allowing you to dip in and find what you are looking for. This I woud recommend to student nurses that want a good 'drugs' book as it covers everything you need to know.
