"Very detailed chapters, current and up-to-date information, tables that consolidate the drug information.The chapters I am reviewing are detailed with up-to-date information regarding the medications, their dosage, side effects or adverse effects, as well as critical nursing implications for safe administration are well documented.The writing style is good and the tables allow for quick reference regarding the medications.
