App Description

The Nurse's Pocket Drug Guide 2012 provides everything nurses need to know about 1,000 common medications in a compact format. Specifically geared towards patient care, this instant-access guide provides registered nurses with essential, up-to-the-minute information on the selection and administration of commonly used medications.

Organized alphabetically by generic drug name, you'll find mechanisms of action, common usage and dosage, side effects, drug interactions, nursing implications, patient education, and expanded coverage of medical herbs.

"This very useful drug reference will easily fit in your lab coat pocket. The information is accurate and up to date. Due to size constraints, only the most frequently used medications are included in this book. This book retains its value by being revised yearly and maintaining a database of the most current information."--Doody's Review Service
