This handbook provides detailed coverage of drug classification in a unique, easy-access format. Over 90 drug prototypes are found on the left-hand pages and offer complete pharmacologic information. These prototypes are correlated with nursing process material located on the right-hand pages. Comprehensive drug tables contain generic and brand drug names; pregnancy categories; common routes and dosages; contraindications and drug, food and laboratory test interactions; pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics; therapeutic effects/uses and modes of action; protein binding capacity; half life; onset, peak and duration of drug action; and side effects/adverse reactions.
I have the text to this book, which was a total waste of time, because it was set up in such a way that made things more confusing, and unfortunately, have to use it for the rest of this nursing course. Finding this pocket companion gave me just what I needed, and not a drop more, and now, I actually look forward to studying meds, and feel more confident that I will actually do well on the state boards. Too bad this is no longer printed.
