Description

The fully revised Second Edition of Drug therapy in Nursing places the patient at the center of all drug and drug administration choices. Organized by body system, the book bridges the gap between basic science and clinical priactice and shows how today’s therapeutic agents can address each patient’s specific needs. Features include critical thinking scenarios, abundant review questions, color concept maps, drug summary tables, Lifespan Alerts regarding pediatric, childbearing, and geriatric patients, and Web Alerts directing readers to Internet information. A Focus on Research feature provides the groundwork for evidence-based decision-making. Appendices cover Canadian drugs, diagnostic imaging agents, enteral nutrition supplements, antidotes, immunizations, and more. Updated with dozens of newly approved drugs and indications, Lippincott’s Nursing Drug Guide 2007 provides quick access to current, comprehensive, vital drug information. It contains over 800 complete drug monographs, organized alphabetically, plus a full-color photoguide to pills and capsules and 24 rapid-reference appendices appropriate for practicing nurses. This edition includes eleven new monographs on recently approved drugs.
