Omschrijving
Provides nurses with the latest details and procedures needed to keep safe in the workplace. You'll find new chapters on post-administration issues, linen handling, disposal of hazardous drugs and hazardous drug waste, and the hazardous drug handling policy landscape. Each chapter includes key points to help highlight the most important information for nurses dealing with hazardous drugs.
Well set out and well researched, each chapter guides staff through surveillance, training, drug formulations, drug and post administration and importantly patient and family education (all too often a text book will outline everything, but the patient and family are either forgotten or not acknowledged). The chapters are easy to read and understand.
There are ten impressive pages of up to date references and authors with pharmaceutical and senior nurse backgrounds.
