Summary:

Now in its Ninth Edition, this compact, spiral-bound handbook provides comprehensive information on more than 325 I.V. drugs, blood products, and solutions. This edition features new entries on recently approved drugs and includes newly approved indications. Headings in all entries have been changed and resequenced to reflect the essential information nurses want. Every entry now includes onset-peak-duration tables and a dilution section, and entries on key critical-care drugs include infusion rate tables. This edition also has more Alert logos to signal potential dangers and new appendices on risks of peripheral and central I.V. therapy. Drug updates are available at NDHnow.com.
