Summary

Manual of I.V. Therapeutics, 4th Edition, is a self-paced book designed to help the student, novice, or advanced practitioner in any setting where infusion-related skills are necessary. This new edition continues to emphasize standards of practice using the guidelines of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Intravenous Nursing Society (INS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To help your students prepare for the CRNI exam, we include a CD-ROM with 400 multiple-choice review questions with answers and rationales.
