Handbook of Infusion Therapy

Handbook of Infusion Therapy is a heavily illustrated resource that provides the nurse with the most current information about all types of infusion therapy -- peripheral venous therapy, central venous therapy, and IV fluid administration. The book also places a heavy emphasis on IV drug administration, including chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition, transfusion therapy, and a wide range of other IV drug entries. Each drug entry includes generic and trade names, pharmacologic and therapeutic classes, indications and dosages, contraindications, equipment considerations, implementation, complications, patient teaching, special consideration for geriatric and pediatric patients, home care, and required documentation.
