Take an evidence-based approach to prescribing decisions with this comprehensive guide
Prescribing decisions are among the most important parts of clinical practice. Balancing patient needs, possible drug interactions, the probability of adverse drug reactions, and more requires an evidence-based approach rooted in pharmacological principles. The New Prescriber: An Integrated Approach to Medical and Non-medical Prescribing offers a thorough, accessible introduction to the core components of prescribing, essential for any student preparing for clinical practice. Now fully updated to reflect the latest best practices and to address questions raised by different prescribing settings, it promises to continue as the key introduction to this vital subject.
Readers of the second edition of The New Prescriber will also find:
The New Prescriber is ideal for all non-medical prescribing students, nursing, allied health professionals, and medical students.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
Weitere Informationen finden Sie in unserer E-Book Hilfe.
