5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for homecare nurses and their pts, September 8, 1999

Wonder what that new med your pt is taking is for? He probably is as well! This reference will answer all those questions PLUS the disc let me print out teaching guides for my pt to keep as reference...and in large print that he can read,,not that teeny tiny type on the drug info sheet from the pharmacy. Drug interactions and special considerations are very relevant in teaching pts about their medications.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite drug book, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nursing 99 Drug Handbook (Annual) (Paperback)

I've reviewed many drug books and this is the best. I order a new edition every two years and have never been disappointed. It is definitely the best organized drug book and provides nurses with the information they need to know to properly treat a patient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise information, clearly presented and up to date., February 3, 1999

As a Registered Nurse, I have found this book invaluable over many years. Many similar handbooks follow an A-Z format.However, Nsg Drug hand book is listed by categories, this means that you can compare various aspects of side effects, peaks and troughs etc easily, and ALL of the new drugs for a given disease or condition are together for easy reference. As it's name suggests, this Drug book is up-dated each year.

In the A-Z type, you must know the name of the drug to look it up and then to find a similar drug without knowing the name,can be time consuming. Nursing '99, I hope you make lots of extra copies availabe for '2000'. I'm sure we will all want one! Joan Hanlon R.N.-C
