"The book provides an easy to follow introductory text for student nurses exploring the world of clinical pharmacology. Each chapter describes the contents and learning outcomes clearly allowing the student to easily navigate to areas they wish to explore. It uses uncomplicated language and case studies and questions that provide students with concrete examples, relating to real life situations, upon which they can develop their pharmacological knowledge and understanding. Clinical tips are clear and illustrate the key points that should be considered by the nurse in the real care giving environment, including acknowledgement of the increasing usage of complementary medicine."

David Armstrong, Senior Lecturer, Northumbria University, UK
