The purpose of this book is to provide an extensive framework of knowledge that can be acquired within a limited time frame. It will be especially helpful to learners in one-year training programs with limited time allotted to the study of medications. For those in longer programs, it can be used as the basis for more extensive study. It is appropriate as a required book in training those who will administer medications. It has been especially designed to meet the needs of students in allied health and nursing programs. This book has been field tested in several classes with learners in various health occupations. Learners who have already used this book for updating of supplemental education include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical assistants, and paramedics.
