Review: Know anyone's meds. Easy to use. - Everyone should have one of these if you take any meds, or have meds for kids. You can always identify any meds you may find. What is that med you found in your kids bedroom? Or on the floor anywhere?
Review: Every nurse and nursing student should have this awesome drug handbook! - We bought this 40th Anniversary Edition Nursing 2020 Drug Handbook for my wife’s nursing program and the book was delivered in tact and all the the pages were clear and as described. My wife says that she likes that this handbook detailed how to use this book and she likes that it covered all she needed to know and master on nurse's daily dealings with drugs and how to avoid common drug errors. She says that her favorite thing about this handbook is the drug monographs; detailed and well explained pertinent and specific information on drug actions, safe medications administrations, how to monitor potential interactions and adverse effects, implement care measures, patient education, drugs classifications and the she says she really like the all important “ Black Box Warning” safety alert for each medication. My wife says another thing she likes about this handbook is the online toolkit that comes with the book concerning up to date information on doing charts, dosage calculator, drug safety and administration videos, audio drug pronunciation guide, drug therapy guidelines and patient populations. She says her favorite thing she likes was the online access that provides critical information on monthly FDA drug updates and drug warnings. She says that this handbook is a great companion whether you are a nursing student, a newbie nurse or veteran nurse. I would recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Drug Book
*by W***R on May 27, 2021*

Love the book. I ordered on for me and one for my daughter. She is taking a Pharmacy Tech course and the reference book is a perfect reference to have handy when she has questions about the drugs and drugs classifications she is studying. The copy that I bought is useful when I am given a prescription from the physician so I can look up the action and side effects. Thank you for offering the reference on Amazon.
