5.0 out of 5 stars Quick & dirty IV info for harried hospital pharmacists., September 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (14th ed) (Paperback)

This is a very handy spiral-bound handbook, at least for busy pharmacists who must make IV's like they knew everything. If I have a question, chances are, it's answered there- in less than a minute: How to make it, what it is used for, what to watch out for during therapy. My pharmacist hat is off to the nurses for this one.

This review is from: 2006 Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (Spiral-bound)

As a hospital pharmacist, this is the book I have at my side at all times. Gives important information on infusion rates, stability, and usual dosages and concentrations. This information can be found elsewhere of course but I have been accustomed to looking here first.
