100 cases in clinical pharmacology, therapeutics and rescribing/

Abstract

This book presents 100 clinical case studies designed to develop the clinical pharmacology, therapeutic decision-making and prescribing skills of medical students and junior doctors. It covers common clinical situations encountered in hospital wards, emergency departments, outpatient clinics and general practice. Each case provides a patient history, clinical examination findings and relevant investigations, followed by questions on diagnosis and management. The accompanying discussions address rational drug selection, prescription writing, drug calculations, prescription review, adverse drug reactions, drug monitoring and patient counselling. The book promotes clinical reasoning, safe prescribing practices and effective patient care, making it a valuable resource for clinical training and examination preparation.
