Synopsis

A quick-access guide to current drug recommendations with regular digital updates!

Written specifically for APRN students and practitioners called upon to prescribe drugs for patients with acute, episodic, and chronic health problems, this unique reference comes with an eBook and regular digital updates. It provides state-of-the-art guidance about appropriate pharmacotherapy options and treatment regimens for over 500 diagnoses in a concise, easy-to-read format. A particularly helpful feature is commentary throughout delivering such useful information as laboratory values to be monitored, patient teaching points, and safety information.

To facilitate speedy access to vital information, the guide presents clinical diagnoses alphabetically. Within each diagnoses, appropriate drug choices are listed by generic name, FDA pregnancy category, availability in generic or over-the-counter, adult/pediatric dosing regimens, brand names, dose forms, and information regarding additives. Thirty Appendices provide quick access to key drug classifications, FDA Pregnancy Categories, US Schedule of Controlled Substances, Immunization Schedules, and much more. An alphabetical cross-reference index of drugs by generic and brand name, with FDA pregnancy category and controlled drug schedule, facilitates quick identification of drugs by alternate names and relative safety during pregnancy.
