Excellent reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mosby's Drug Guide for Nurses, 4e (Paperback)
This is the best medication reference book I have ever used. In the past, I used another drug book but this one, by far, is the best. It has helped me out with my LPN career as well as being an RN student. I highly recommend this book!

Good drug guide,
By Mulan "BLV" (Rochester, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mosby's Drug Guide for Nurses (Paperback)
It gives the nursing process for each drug, reasons for using the drug,& etc. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is because of some meds were not listed in the drug guide.
5.0 out of 5 stars
