Today, nurses are presented with a bewildering range of medicines which they will have to ensure are safely administered to the patient. The nurse cannot be familiar with the numerous preparations available but he/she should have an understanding of how drugs work to ensure safe practice. Although nurse prescribing in the UK is now established, albeit on a limited basis, as the nurses role continues to evolve within the operating department a sufficient depth of knowledge of the principals of pharmacology is essential to provide holistic care.
如今，护士面对的药物种类繁多，令人眼花缭乱，他们必须确保这些药物能安全地给患者使用。护士不可能熟悉所有现有的制剂，但应该了解药物的作用方式，以确保操作安全。尽管英国护士开处方现已确立，尽管范围有限，但随着护士在手术室中的角色不断演变，具备足够深入的药理学原理知识对于提供全面护理至关重要。
