The 2nd edition of this textbook offers a complete review of the chapters to provide readers with up-to-date knowledge of the current nursing pharmacology practice. The focus of the book remains faithful to underpinning principles of safe medication practice and administration by providing a clinically useful understanding of pharmacokinetics, relating it to important clinical outcomes and adverse drug effects.

In line with changes in legal statutes, the chapter on legal and ethical issues associated with medication has been removed as this is now the remit of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Four new chapters were added, to appreciate the importance of the role of nursing pharmacology in health care, to highlight the future challenges of the profession, and to help address the rapidly changing area of anti-thrombotic care and anaesthetics.

This textbook will equip the nurse with an understanding of issues related to pharmacotherapeutics that are aligned with current nursing roles and statutory requirements.

Mrs Pauline Hood has had many years of clinical and academic experience. Her focus of clinical practice was perioperative nursing. Mrs Hood was a lecturer at the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care, King's College London from 1995 and undertook a range of teaching, managerial and academic roles until her retirement. Mrs Hood pioneered pharmacology education at the Faculty, and from 1999, she and Dr Khan developed and promoted pharmacology education for nurses and midwives. Mrs Hood has published a range of papers and texts and was the editor of the Journal of Advanced Perioperative Care.
