I seriously hate this book, it's not organized. Everything is all over the place & it's like a scavenger hunt trying to find what you're looking for. For example, when looking for adverse effects, they're all listed in one paragraph for multiple drugs, but it's like that for EVERYTHING. It takes far too long to try & find what you're looking for, unless you sit down & literally highlight different drugs with different color.
Excellent,excellent thorough resource.This is my second edition by this team.Couldny wait for it to be published.Used it to teach Nursing Students and refresh my information.Even as an Advanced Practice Nurse
