Book excerpt: "...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.

Download or read book Law for Nurses and Midwives written by Patricia J Staunton and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An easy-to-follow introduction to the legal issues affecting health care providers in Australia. Law for Nurses and Midwives, 7th edition gives undergraduate and postgraduate nursing and midwifery students a concise introduction to the law as it pertains health care provision in Australia. As students will already appreciate, nursing and midwifery practice involves making decisions with and for others. This often requires evaluation of best interests and obligations and an assessment of what will best protect or enhance a patient or client’s wellbeing. Understanding the application of current legal statutes – particularly those relating to negligence and consent – as they apply to professional practice is therefore essential for all nurses and midwives. Law for Nurses and Midwives, 7th edition provides students with information and knowledge necessary to make well informed and considered decisions – both for themselves and for those under their care. The six previous editions of this text were published as Nursing & the Law, and this seventh edition builds upon their established high regard. With its new title, Law for Nurses and Midwives reflects recent regulations changes under Australian National Registration, implemented in July 2010. All Australian state and territory statutes have been revised and Chapter 8: Professional regulation of nursing practice has been completely rewritten. There is now a specific section included on Maternity Services law to address the new standards and guidelines for eligible midwives. Students will benefit from actual legal cases within the book, which provide examples of the law in context, while extensive endnotes offer detailed referencing. Tables and boxed information highlight the most up-to-date data, research and statutes for ease of reference. Completely revised to reflect recent changes in legislation and regulations Chapter 8 now fully updated for national registration requirements A specific section on Maternity Services law A valuable resource for nurses and midwives returning to the workforce who are seeking an Australian law text to assist with CPD for National Registration More accessible language throughout

Download or read book Forging a Poison Prevention and Control System written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poisoning is a far more serious health problem in the U.S. than has generally been recognized. It is estimated that more than 4 million poisoning episodes occur annually, with approximately 300,000 cases leading to hospitalization. The field of poison prevention provides some of the most celebrated examples of successful public health interventions, yet surprisingly the current poison control "system" is little more than a loose network of poison control centers, poorly integrated into the larger spheres of public health. To increase their effectiveness, efforts to reduce poisoning need to be linked to a national agenda for public health promotion and injury prevention. Forging a Poison Prevention and Control System recommends a future poison control system with a strong public health infrastructure, a national system of regional poison control centers, federal funding to support core poison control activities, and a national poison information system to track major poisoning epidemics and possible acts of bioterrorism. This framework provides a complete "system" that could offer the best poison prevention and patient care services to meet the needs of the nation in the 21st century.
