内容説明

With the important part played by nurses in the administration of drugs and in recording their effects, and developments in nurse prescribing, an understanding of pharmacology and its application to patient care is an integral part of pre and post-registration nursing education. This popular textbook has two main aims: to give an up-to-date account of the action and use of drugs in the treatment and prevention of disease, and to explore the principles underlying drug usage. The seventeenth edition of this highly successful textbook builds on the foundation of its predecessors by bringing the text fully up to date with developments in the world of clinical pharmacology and current trends in clinical practice. It introduces some important new drugs and describes their use in the management and prevention of disease.In particular the new 'biologic' drugs are presented for the first time. There is also a new chapter devoted to helping students organise their notes and cut down unnecessary material, making it easier to learn for exams. The book also includes detailed information on alternative treatments such as homoeopathy, herbalism. "Trounce's Clinical Pharmacology" is suitable for a wide range of health care students including: diploma and degree nursing students and nurses studying for post-registration qualifications or continuing professional education.
