The safe and effective management of medicines is an essential clinical skill, accounting for up to 40% of a nurses time within practice. Medicines Management provides a concise exploration of the nurses role in medicines management.It explains what is meant by medicines management, discusses the current professional and legal context, and gives insight into the reasons why mistakes are made. The book is primarily concerned with clinical skills; much of the content is therefore focused on the principles of safe drug administration. Safe practice is underpinned by the five rights approach - right patient, right drug, right dose, right time, right route. This approach is covered in depth within one specific chapter, but remains a theme throughout the book.Phil Jevon: qualified as an RGN in 1986.
