Medicines Management in Children's Nursing

Correct medicines management and calculations for children is a crucial skill that children’s nursing students must develop in order to provide safe care to their patients. This book specifically supports pre-registration students in meeting the required competencies for medicines management needed to pass formal assessment and qualify as a children’s nurse. It is clearly structured around the NMC Essential Skills Clusters for medicine management, covering legal aspects, drugs calculations, administration, storage, record-keeping, introductory pharmacology, patient communication and contextual issues in medication. The book is written in user-friendly language and uses patient scenarios to explain concepts and apply theory to practice.
