Introduction to Medicines Management in Nursing (Paperback, Revised ed.)

Managing medicines can seem a daunting prospect for new nursing students, but it is a crucial skill they must develop from day one to provide safe care to their patients. This book specifically supports first year pre-registration students in meeting the required UK competencies for medicines management needed for progression into the second year. It is structured around the UK's NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) Essential Skills Clusters, providing a clear introduction to law, calculations, administration, introductory pharmacology, patient communication, and contextual issues applied to medicines management. The book is written in user-friendly language and uses patient scenarios to explain concepts and apply theory to practice.
