Lippincott's Nursing Drug Guide 2010 with Web Resource

I purchased this book for a pharmacology class I took this semester. This book was extremely helpful to me when I needed to look up a specific drug. I also used it as a reference when writing a paper on a specific drug category. It is an excellent book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing a drug handbook. I also bought another drug handbook, not knowing which one to get and Im gonna hafta say that this one blew the other one outta the water! The other hand book was the Nursing Drug Handbook 2006, 26th edition. It was alot harder for me to use than Lippincotts book.

as a home health nurse used this book for teaching home patients about their meds. Easy to read and understand.

excellent book for for someone or family of someone who is receiving medications at their physician's direction

This is truly an excellent pharmacology resource for nurses. I believe this book surpasses the Nursing Drug Handbook published by Springhouse (which is also an excellent resource). What sets this guide apart from others is the comprehensiveness of the material. I found indications and side effects listed that I was unable to find in other drug guides, thus making this guide indispensible to nurses. I don't enter the clinical setting without hand-carrying this guide.

This is a wonderful book, normally with a small cd for computer referenceing, that gives all the important information a consumer or nurse needs to insure that the medication being administered won't conflict. It lists important side effects of the medications and explains how it works. Written on a nurses level.
