Customer Reviews

Excellent for nurses that like accurate, fast information.
This book is the best drug guide I have owned; I have five to current date. There is only one draw back and that is that it can not be downloaded into my head. I am an emergency room nurse; therefore, I need accurate information and I need it fast!

An outstanding, at-a-glance reference
Administration, assessment, monitoring, guidelines and more pack Lexi-Comp's drug reference handbook for nurses and college-level libraries catering to them. Now in its 11th updated edition, Drug Information Handbook for Nursing offers 40 new drug monographs, new fields from product availability to drug interactions, and appendix updates of abbreviations, compatibility issues, immunizations and more. Over 4800 medications are alphabetically indexed by brand and generic names and provides an outstanding, at-a-glance reference.

Lexi-Comp's Drug Information handbook for Nursing (2006)
Overall this is an excellent drug information book. However, I was extremely disappointed when I discovered it had an index instead of listing all of the drugs (brand and generic) alphabetically as previous editions had done. The previous format made it very easy to look up drugs, whether you knew the generic or brand name, this, also, made this book very unique.
