For thirty years, nursing professionals have turned to the Drug Handbook for up-to-the-minute drug facts, dosage guidance, and practical clinical support. The guide is consistently praised by RNS, LPNs, and other nursing professionals as the "best of its kind" for ease of use and reliability — "The best drug reference for nurses I've used in my 11 years as a LVN," says Anthony Conway. "Very useful, practical, easy to use both for work and home," says Violeta Sadi, RN.
The new Nursing2010 Drug Handbook offers the latest information on more than 900 generic and 3,000 brand-name drugs. Each drug monograph includes generic and trade names, a pronunciation key, pregnancy risk category, pharmacologic class, controlled substance schedule (if applicable), indications and dosages, administration (with drug incompatibilities for I.V. drugs), action (including tables showing route, onset, peak, duration, and half-life), adverse reactions, interactions, effects on lab test results, contraindications, nursing considerations, and patient teaching aids.
New for this 30th edition is the inclusion of black box warnings where appropriate, an expanded combination drug section, vaccine immunization schedules added and more than 1,350 additions, changes and updates on indications, dosages and administration.
The anniversary edition also includes a companion Web Toolkit with FDA warnings, new drug and herb updates, medication administration and safety videos, dosage calculators, patient teaching aids, pharmacology animations, English-Spanish audio medical phrases and drug history questions, NCLEX®-style questions, drug card creator, audio generic name pronunciations and CE activity.For more information or to purchase, contact Lippincott Williams & Wilkins at 1-800-638-3030 or visit www.lww.com.
