Product Description
Review
"Aconcise, pocket-sized book that is cost-effective and very useful for a both nursing students and newly qualified nurses. It gives an understanding of how drugs work in each body system and provides guidance on drug administration, drug interactions, contraindications and side effects. [...] This handy guide is also very useful for undergraduate nursing students undertaking pharmacology or pathology and disease management modules because of its resourcefulness in aiding revision and learning practices for exams and assignments." - Tianna Jarrett-Williams, Nursing Student
Product Description
This handy pocket sized text provides the nursing student with the essential information that they will need on placement. This book will act as a super quick reference guide to drugs on the ward, it contains information on common abbreviations, sites of drug administration, and a quick re-cap on how drugs work. The book also contains details of the main drug families used for treating the most frequently seen conditions on placement (for example, asthma, diabetes, and heart disease), it also covers overdoses and adverse drug reactions. The laminated wipe down paper will be very useful for students on placement.
The book will be particularly useful for nursing students that are starting their placements at year 1. Nursing students at year 2 and 3 will also find this book invaluable, and practicing nurses may also want a copy to refer to during their work.

Format:Paperback
This tiny book will easily fit into your tunic and contains
lots of useful information - possibly too much when you are
just starting out - a larger format would have been better
- even if you can't carry it around so easily. Still it is
very cheap to buy.

Format:Paperback
I'm studying to be an osteopath and this truly pocket sized book is invaluable as a quick reference guide to commonly prescribed drugs, how they work and their possible side-effects. This information allows you to determine if certain treatments might be contraindicated in some patients and why certain symptoms may present. The book is small and compact enough to fit neatly into a clinic coat pocket with space to spare and the ring binding means you can keep a page open without damaging the book. It may look small but all the pertinent information is included on drugs prescribed for heart conditions, diabetes, respiratory problems and much, much more. All in all this book is brilliant and highly recommended for anyone who wants to treat safely.

This book is a great help for student nurses! Each page is plastic coated so you can keep it clean easily and the pages wont get ragged or torn!
Also for once when it says its pocket size it actually is!
