Welcome to Medicines Management: a nursing perspective - a book that uses patient scenarios to explore pharmacology and medicines management.

• The patient scenarios have been carefully chosen to reflect situations that the student will be most likely to meet in practice, and includes medicines related to those patient conditions
• The book provides the pharmacological background to medicines management and examines the other factors that enable the nurse to develop effective nursing strategies.
• It will equip the new nurse with the skills they need to problem-solve and prioritise, and therefore understand the decisions made about care. It looks at the evidence base (the research available on medicines and conditions), covers medicine information, and examines the implications of medicine administration.

This book has been designed to support student nurses at undergraduate level, particularly those on the Common Foundation Programme.
