Student Nurse Drugs in Use Survival Guide - Nursing and Health Survival Guides

Synopsis

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.
