Basic Chemistry for Nurses

As disease agents such as bacteria become more and more resistant, the search for new and more effective drugs becomes intense; but where do drugs come from? This book, designed specifically for nurses, is divided into three sections. The first gives a broad overview of some chemical processes involved in the development of drugs. The second examines the structures of drugs and related compounds. Section three examines the process of applying chemical knowledge. This book is written in language suitable for non-specialist chemists and for those who need to use and understand some basic fundamentals of chemistry.
