The Prescription Drug Guide for Nurses 1st Edition,  Edition by Sue Jordan (Author) - This is  a P.D.F Ebook.

"This book was written by a senior lecturer in health science with a great deal of input from nurses. It highlights the burden of treatment and is a resource for non-medical prescribers in identifying adverse drug reactions and for recognising definitions and classifications. ... The sections on ‘potential problems’ and ‘suggestions for prevention and management’ were particularly enlightening. The book provides ideas for better patient consultations through discussions about medications and their effects."
Nursing Standard
"This likeable little book is a definite contribution to the field and should find a home in every ward, unit and hospital library shelf."
International Emergency Nursing
"This book is exceedingly timely. I am certain it will be invaluable to both undergraduate and post graduate student nurses, and, also act as a continuing reference source. Thoroughly recommended."
Molly Courtenay, Reading University, UK
"Sue Jordan has combined her deep understanding of her own discipline with her long experience of teaching nurses, to produce just the right type and level of information that nurses need, in a format that they will find relevant to their practice and easy to use. This book will be an essential reference resource for every ward bookshelf."
