Caracteristici

Only handbook to identify prototype drugs – helps students learn pharmacology.
 
Dosages for neonates, infants, adolescents, adults, and patients with obesity and renal or hepatic impairment
  • Only handbook that consistently breaks dosages down to the level of neonate, infant, and adolescent — an advantage for maternity and pediatric nursing course adoptions.  Also includes dosage requirements for obese patients and patients undergoing dialysis.
Clearly identified IV preparation and push, continuous, or intermittent administration information
  • Only handbook to break down IV drug information with clear instructions for preparing and administering IV’s via push, continuous, or intermittent in a format that is easily accessible for students.   More comprehensive IV information than any other drug guide – eliminates the need for students to buy two drug guides.
Clinically-proven interactions with drugs, food, and herbals, as appropriate
  • Only handbook to include consistently all three types of interactions: drug-drug, drug-food, and drug herbal — assessing for potential interactions is an important role for the nurse.  While other books include interactions, the PH authors only include interactions that have been confirmed and published by the drug companies.
Only drug guide to include a glossary of key signs and symptoms for which nurses should monitor during assessment for side effects, interactions, and impact on lab results.
