Reviews

"5 stars!...drug monographs are organized in a way that allows quick access to information and it is very easy to determine if the medication is safe to be administered through the enteral route. Information is current and properly referenced...This is a convenient and useful guide to have on the medical floor as a point of care reference for nurses, pharmacists, or any healthcare providers..."
