Medicines Management in Children′s Nursing

Used by children′s nursing students to build their pharmacology knowledge. -- Debby Hylton
It′s more than a little simplistic for the students on my own courses. However, it′s a good basic guide on the key issues. I have recommended it to the Course Leaders for the Health Visiting, School Nursing and Pre-Registration, BSc in Nursing Course Leaders. -- Andrew McEwan * drupal *
We have quite a restricted core list and your drop down boxes don′t account for that really. However, I do mention the book to my personal students. -- Dr Debbie Fallon * drupal *
Medicines Management is a priority area in all fields of nursing including Children′s Nursing. This book gave excellent scenrios and activites for students to work through. It was written in a literary style and formatting that was helpful and guided the student.
It is more ideally suited to BSc students although the information presented within the book is an excellent revision book for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.I
nitially I will use this book for SCQF level 10 students undertaking paediatric and neonatal modules prior to them undertaking MSc Advanced Neonatal Practitioner / Advanced Paediatric Practitioner. This is really to ease the students into medicines management before undertaking the MSc Non medical prescribing module. -- Dr Jean Rankin * drupal *
The worked examples and case studies are excellent. The consideration of legal/ethical issues relating to drug administration are a strength of this text. -- Hannah Abbott * drupal *

Easy to read, up to date with recent NMC changes. Appropriate and meaningful examples and activities.
Excellent, happy to recommend to both degree and Master′s pre-reg students -- Mr Dave Melville * drupal *
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. -- Mr Keith Booles * drupal *
This book is well laid out. There are case studies that allow the reader to apply the content discuss to situations that are likely to occur. The section on legality, in particular the controlled drug section, describes the legality of administering drugs in an explicit and easy to understand method. -- Mr Martin Lewis * drupal *
The book is excellent and I would recommend it to all children′s nursing students and registered staff also. -- Mr Maryanne Murphy * drupal *
Excellent text with clear explanation of complex issues e.g. pharmacokinetics. Useful text for all years of the branch programme. -- Mr Peter McNee * drupal *
I would recommend this book across the entire child nursing cirriculum.It is very readable as are all the learning matters books as they relate theory to practice so well. -- Mrs Aileen Sharp * drupal *

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. -- Ms Joanne O'Donnell * drupal *
Useful to have a test specific for child health students - rather than just a chapter in a generic text. -- Ms Laila Paulsen * drupal *
