Medicines Management in Children's Nursing

Essential reference book for students studying children's nursing - highly recommended.

I feel that my adult nursing students would only use a text like this very rarely but would be a good text in the library for them to research with if they came across in critical care areas children and were involved in medicines management.
A more focussed textbook for students and lecturers involved and undertaking the child health branch of the nursing degree programme, but a book for all nursing libraries in my view as medicines management is an essental skill.
The book in my opionion is well written and easy to use, I particularly like the chapters on calculating children's medicines, holistic care and treatment options and medicines adminstration....the chapter on partnership is also a very important chapter.

It is very user friendly with clear explanations of the concepts of medicine safety and management for children. Excellent, thought provoking case studies and activities allow students to understand their accountability and responsibilities of care.

Excellent book which is easy to understand.

excellent reference book for students with easy to understand concepts related to student accountability and patient safety

This is an excellent textbook. It is very user friendly and gives the student the opportunity to develop a firm understanding of the issues around children and medicines. I found the layout to be very logical and the content would encourage further exploration of he subject matter by the student. I also feel that this is a book that would be a very useful addition to any paediatric ward as a clear resource for guidance. I did particlarly like the issues raised around calculations. I have encounterd other books in this series and feel that this book not only comliments those but is an excellent stand alone book, that is well planned and easy to navigate and very pertinant to todays environment of safety in practice.

One of few textbooks available on the complex issue of medicines management for children. The activities are especially useful.

A nice straight forward easy to read text
