title: Nurse prescribing in rheumatology: a case study.
abstract: This case study outlines the clinical management, and in particular the drug management, of a patient with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in secondary care. The lady in question, Mrs Adams (pseudonym as per NMC Guidelines), is under the care of the consultant rheumatologist. Within this clinical setting, and in conjunction with an appropriate, agreed clinical management plan, this paper demonstrates that the nurse consultant can effectively manage Mrs Adams' care and treatment.
