Great resource. Organized clearly and easy to reference. It's a great pic for students vs. other nursing drug guides. Only drawback is that it is alphabetized by the generic drug name, so if you don't know it, you have to look it up in the index or otherwise find out before you can go drug info.
This drug guide is one of the best on the market. The use of color in the guide is superb and helps the user to locate important information quickly. Serious drug adverse reactions are printed in red. Black box warnings are in a blue text box with red and black lettering. High alerts are in bold red in the text box with the name of the drug. This guide is easy to use. It includes nursing considerations including patient education and expected positive therapeutic outcomes. In addition it also contains appendixes with valuable information. I highly recommend this drug guide, not only for nurses, but for the patient as well. I take it with me to my medical appointments, and consult it before I ever fill a prescription.
I originally purchased the 10th ed. in 2013, which had an up-date for new drugs for 2014. It seemed to have all the info I needed; therefore, I purchased the 11th edition with the up-date for 2016. So far it seems to have the drugs I need to review for clinicals each day. It is wonderful because it states the key drugs seen on the NCLEX. I also like the brighter colors in the monographs. I think over all, it is a great book to have during clinicals and great for nurses too.
Seriously the BEST drug guide book for nursing students! This will be my 3rd drug guide purchase i've made since starting nursing school fall 15'! I bought (Davis & Lippincot), Lippincot was not bad but I'm more of a visual learner and felt this book was bright but not enough! Davis is (HORRIBLE) black and white and is geared towards more advanced nurses who know medical terminology!So this was the best choice! I previewed it at B&N but bought online because it's wayyyyyy cheaper!So happy with my purchase!!!!
This book is exactly what I was needing and looking for. I am a nursing student and this book has everything I need. The drugs are listed alphabetically by generic name. it includes nursing considerations during assesments, family/patient education and evaluations and it tells you the different forms and dosages the drugs are available in. It also gives the adverse effects for each body system and what to administer if there is an overdose of that drug. So far this has been my lifeline. You will not be disappointed if you decide to buy this book!
Easy to use and understand for the nursing student.
Really nice bookl. Just wish that drugs were indexed by category then alphabetically.
Love the way this book is laid out. Had an older Davis Drug Guide and I like this one so much better. The color added is such a nice touch. Makes things easier on the eyes.
