The text presents pharmacology for nurses in a clear and easy to read style ... Aimed primarily at nursing students, this is a book that will stimulate and motivate. However, given the current focus on clinical governance and reducing medication errors, this book would be a useful revision aid for nurses at all levels.\"\u003cbr\u003e Valerie McGurk, Nursing Standard, December 2009\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This book is great!

Expert advice is given in the form of clinical tips in boxes throughout the book providing additional specialist information. It is perfect for any pre-registration student to establish a sound base of knowledge in pharmaco-dynamics, the effect of drugs on the body, as well as pharmaco-kinetics, how drugs are absorbed, metabolised and excreted. Calculation of drug dosage is an area of pharmacology which fills many student nurses with dread and the calculation questions in each chapter provide a chance to test and improve calculation knowledge and gain confidence.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jo Parham, Nursing Student, UWE, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Each chapter has a section of both calculations and multiple choice questions.
