This a very detailed & informative drug guide. I purchased because of taking a pharmacology class and it was very cheap. This textbook is emphasizing the information nurses need to know to administer medications competently and safely across the lifespan. I have purchased other drug guides, but this one is by far the most informative. Great resource for working nurses.
