Mosby's 2027 Nursing Drug Reference makes it easy to find the most vital information on the drugs you administer most frequently. More than 5,000 drugs are profiled ― including more than 25 new entries for drugs recently approved by the FDA. And no other drug guide places a higher emphasis on patient safety, with Black Box Warnings for dangerous adverse reactions, High Alerts for drugs with the greatest risk, and a focus on both common and life-threatening side effects. From nursing pharmacology expert Linda Skidmore-Roth, this perennial bestseller proves there is a difference in drug guides.
- Content on more than 5,000 generic and trade name drugs covers almost every drug you are likely to encounter in clinicals.
- Black Box Warning feature alerts you to FDA warnings of potentially life-threatening reactions.
- Safety Alert feature icon highlights the most critical interactions and side-effects that you must be aware of during clinicals.
- Bold coverage of IV drug administration helps you easily find appropriate dosage and IV administration instructions to safely administer these drugs.
- Side effects information is organized by body system and identified as common or life-threatening, showing signs to watch for during assessments.
- Nursing Process steps are used as the framework to organize all nursing care information, helping you learn how to easily and completely incorporate the nursing process into your clinical experiences.
- Logical alphabetical organization by generic name with both trade and generic names in the index provides quick access to information on specific drugs.
- Complete pharmacokinetic information is summarized in a table and includes the mechanism and absorption of the drug as well as its action, duration, and excretion.
- Drugs covered in the appendixes are cross-referenced with headers in the book, making it easier to quickly find content for drugs not addressed in the body of the book.
