Havard's Nursing Guide to Drugs, now in its 6th edition, continues to be an essential resource for nursing students and practitioners. The information presented in this user-friendly guide can be accessed either by therapeutic class or by system - each section is introduced by a description of the therapeutic class, followed by an A-Z of drugs within that therapeutic class, including the action, use and dosage of each drug, and important nursing points and nursing cautions. Both trade names and generic drug names are given.All drug information and appendices have been fully updated and revised, as has the description of the nurse's role in drug therapy, taking into account the continuing evolution of nursing practice.
