  Nursing students and qualified nurses need their own A-Z of drugs - a nursing BNF (British National Formulary). This book meets this need. It is a guide to drugs in common use, and to drug groups. What makes it more relevant to nurses than the BNF is that each description has a short section on 'nurse monitoring' and 'general notes'. Further notes and appendices on intravenous feeding, antibiotics, drugs in breast milk, and others listed in the contents below, increase its appeal and practicality for nurses. Nursing students will find it an invaluable reference book throughout their pre-registration education. It will help them when on clinical placement and to write care plans. As GPs refer to the BNF, so practising nurses will turn to Drugs in Nursing Practice, being the only A-Z of drugs that includes nursing notes. Over 50 new drugs have been included in this new edition, 12 drugs deleted and changes made to over 100 existing entries. The layout is greatly improved, with highlighting of information, for clarity's sake. The nursing notes have also been highlighted to make the information's relevance to nursing practice even more accessible.
