Interesting book
This is an awesome book for IV meds, so many things are covered on the different meds its the only book i need. It shows compatibilities, in-compatibilities, administration times, amount of dilution needed, side effects, expected actions, drug names and classes!
While everyone runs around with palm pilots and PDA's this book presents in one volume information that is truly a pharmacists life jacket.
Probably the best IV medication med book I've found. every nurse who works the floor should have this in their locker for that medication they rarely push/run.
Didn't purchase
When I finally received the book I was so excited. I have enjoyed using it. It has been a worth-while purchase.
I've been a nurse almost 28 years and I remember using this book in nursing school. This gives you the information you need to give the drug, what it's for, precautions, how to dilute it, and how fast to give it! WOW a practical and useful book how novel :) !
Purchased this book as a requirement for a class and never used it. You can basically find out all you really need to know online.
