Description

Nurse Prescribing Principles and Practice by Molly Courtenay and Michele Butler provides a comprehensive guide to nurse prescribing, responding to legislation that expanded nurses' roles within the NHS. The book is structured around nine chapters, each focusing on a specific group of products described in the Nurse Prescribing Formulary (NPF). It begins with an introduction to the basic pharmacology of each preparation, progressing to anatomical and physiological information, modes of action, doses, common side effects, and contraindications. Important topics such as patient assessment, evaluation, and education are also covered. A key aspect of the book is its focus on the legal and professional aspects of nurse prescribing, making it an essential resource for nurses seeking to understand their expanded role.
