Guy's Hospital 1997-98 Nursing Drug Reference

GUY'S HOSPITAL 1997-98 NURSING DRUG REFERENCE has been rigorously updated to meet the needs of UK health professionals, particularly nurses.

The unique information on nursing care planning and patient education is a key feature.

This portable handbook includes all the essential information needed on prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

All drugs featured in the book appear in alphabetical order by generic name.

A separate index then groups the drugs together in functional class.

Each monograph includes generic name; proprietary name; functional and legal classification.

The main body of the text is then divided equally between pharmacological and nursing information.

The team of pharmacists and nurses who have developed the book in line with UK practice have a broad and sound knowledge of the information needed by nurses caring for patients while on medication, and the contents of the book reflects this.

Clear and consistent organisation and layout throughout ensures that nurses can quickly access necessary information, leaving them more time to attend to patients and provide valuable patient and family education.
