Book Synopsis"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 âpotential problemsâ and âsuggestions for prevention and managementâ 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 contributionto the field and should find a home in every ward,unit and hospital library shelf."International Emergency Nursing"This book is exceedingly timely.
