This unique reference provides a wealth of information in a compact, easy-to-use format. The first section lists medications by the disorder they treat, so the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who has established a patient’s diagnosis can easily determine or validate appropriate dosing. The second section, the appendices, includes tables with medications listed by class and route of administration so the APRN can compare alternative agents with similar actions. The index, the final section in the text, lists each medication included in the text and not only gives the appropriate page numbers within the text but also the pregnancy class and DEA schedule. The convenience of finding that key information in the index is an advantage over most web-based resources, in which pregnancy class and DEA schedule are found only after scrolling through other information. Purchase of this text allows access to a free ebook version. Overall, I recommend this...
