Manual of IV Therapeutics as used for an IV class
I found Phillips' Manual of I.V. Therapeutics to be laid out well for individual learning and classroom formats. The information is up to date and the pre- and post-tests are a great way for the student to test their knowledge and understanding. I did find a few typos and a few statements that did not go exactly with the newest INS standards but Phllips does say to go according to facility policy which does not always agree exactly with INS either. I found two pre-tests where the answer to one question at the end of the chapters did not agree with what was said in the actual chapter information. Since I agree with her information I must assume the answer given at the back of the chapter was a typo. This occurred in the pre-test for chapter 4 and chapter 10. Phillips also talked about using Urokinase which has been recalled. For these reasons I did not give this book five stars but still feel it is best in format and over all information of any book I have found for use in my LPN IV Certification class. Thank you Ms.Phillips.
Excellent resource
This book marks an excellent resource for beginning IV Therapeutics. It has easy-to-follow illustrations and simple calculations that are easily understood. The only downfall is the length of the text. I found the worksheets bound within certain chapters to be exceptionally helpful.
IV Therapeutics
This book is really great for understanding the fundamentals of IV therapy. It mentions how to initiate an IV, medications, different types of central lines, etc. Great for nursing students to learn from!
