About this title

Synopsis

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. The book was developed in response to the increasing complexity of drug therapy, the need to avoid drug errors and to achieve patient safety and effective risk management measures. It will appeal to both pre-registration students and registered nurses. Nurses returning to practice will find it especially useful.

• 'Real-life' examples taken from prescriptions and medicine labels will help nurses to relate the mathematical theory to everyday clinical practice
• The simple, clear and friendly approach will be a major help to anyone who hates maths
• The range of specialties covered make the content relevant to all areas of nursing practice
