    An unrivaled reference tool for advanced practice providers and students in clinical practice settings

    This concise and easy-to-read drug therapy prescribing reference provides critical information for advanced practice nurses and physician assistants in clinical practice settings who are involved in the primary care management of patients with acute, episodic, and chronic health problems, life-altering and life-threatening diseases, and needs for health promotion and disease prevention. Interspersed with clinically useful information, such as monitored laboratory values, patient teaching points, and safety information, this reference draws upon data taken directly from FDA-approved drug labels and patient medication guides, and is organized by diagnosis rather than by drug classification, to provide advanced practice practitioners with the comprehensive, concise, and up-to-date information on drug therapies that they need to help achieve positive outcomes in their daily practice.

    The first section of this book presents drug treatment regimens for over 700 clinical diagnoses, listed alphabetically by generic name, followed by important information required for prescription decision-making. The second section provides additional information on treatment, organized in a convenient table format. An alphabetical cross-reference index of drugs allows for easy identification of alternate drug names and their location within the text.
