Introduction to Medicines Management in Nursing

First Edition


February 2011 | 200 pages | Learning Matters
Managing medicines can seem a daunting prospect for new nursing students, but 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 competencies for medicines management needed for progression into the second year. It is structured around the NMC 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.

 
Introduction
 
Medicines Calculations for Nursing Students
 
Legal and Ethical Frameworks in Medicines Management
 
The Principles of Pharmacology
 
Alternative Approaches to Medicines in Nursing

The book has been very easy to use and adapt in order to give students a step by step introduction to medicine management

An excellent supportive text to an essential skill for student and qualified nurses in contemporary healthcare. Clear, comprehensive and explanatory in delivery. All essential concepts covered for safe and effective medicines management and administration.

Many useful elements to this book that should be important considerations for nurses in all fields, however for MH students it is probably of less value than the alternative text in the same series- Mutsatsa, M. (2011) Medicines Management in Mental Health Nursing. I would still suggest it as useful background reading but probably not encourage MH nurses to purchase this text ahead of Mutsatsa.
