The 2020 Lippincott Pocket Drug Guide for Nurses provides current, vital
drug information “in a nutshell.” Based on the popular Lippincott’s
Nursing Drug Guide by Amy Karch, this handy pocket guide by the same
author gives essential information on over 4,100 medications, including
48 generic drugs newly approved by the FDA, in an easy-access A-to-Z
format.
The “mini” drug monographs include generic and trade
names, drug classes, pregnancy risk category and controlled substance
schedule, “black box” warnings, indications & dosages, dose
adjustments, adverse effects, drug interactions, nursing considerations,
and patient teaching. A special section following the A-to-Z drugs
provides essential Patient Safety information. Appendices cover topical
and ophthalmic medications, laxatives, combination products,
contraceptives, biological agents (vaccines), and more.
