Part two of a series of English-language worksheets for nurses. In this set of reading and listening activities, students learn how to develop a medication history for a patient.

Nurses are responsible for implementing and evaluating drug therapies as well as educating patients about their drug regimes. These are essential skills for nurses, requiring thought and professional judgement. Before any medication is administered, nurses need to carry out a detailed assessment of their patients.
