Publisher Synopsis
"The book provides concise guidelines through the nursing process and I found the nursing interventions and considerations most helpful. The dosage and routes are well set out, including special doses for renal drugs, as well as compatibility and treatment of overdose." Nursing Standard, April 22 2009 "The cover of the book informs the reader that it has 'everything you need to administer drugs', and indeed looking at the individual drug entries in the book they have an emphasis on administering drugs as opposed to prescribing drugs...The flyleaves of the book contain useful information about drug dosage calculations, body surface area formulae, and syringe mixing drug compatibilities." Nurse Education in Practice, 2009
