This handy new guide offers concise and specific information for nurses on preparing and administering medications for children in Australia and New Zealand.
Unlike other medication administration textbooks, Paediatrics and Medications provides comprehensive information, tips and evidence-based strategies directly related to paediatric patients. Focusing on the ‘how to’ of safe medication administration for paediatric patients, this resource also includes a focus on health literacy considerations, techniques in play and other unique elements specifically related to children and their caregivers.
This book is perfect for students undertaking paediatric nursing units of study, and is also highly clinically relevant across broader nursing practice.
