"...Focuses on the use of drugs as medications within the healthcare environment in Australia and New Zealand. ... We use the term 'medication', rather than 'drug', throughout this book to refer to any drug that is used in the healthcare context, although the terms are generally interchangeable ... and it is the generic name of a medication that does not change and is the essential name for the nurse to know. ... we also introduce some abbreviations that are commonly used by healthcare providers and pharmacists in writing and preparing medication prescriptions. ...Two new chapters have been included in the second edition. One chapter covers pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, an area of growing interest in personalised medicine, and the other covers legal and ethical issues related to the administration of medications."--from preface.
