Introduction

The following project, that we are about to take a look at itis basically shorter version of the book known as the “Physician Desk Reference” otherwise known as the PDR. The PDR book is a valuable source of information for the different types od medications weare going to be using in the field of nursing, once we become registered nurses. The Physician Desk Reference (PDR) is going to show us the information we are going to need ranging from the actions,indications, side effects, and the pharmacokinetic of the medication we choose to use in the field. The PDR will be a useful guide for us the starting nurses, it is very important that we carry itevery shift.

Conclusion

In conclusion the Physician Desk Reference (PDR) turns out to be one of the best and most resourceful books out there for nurses fresh out of nursing school. It’s a guidethrough the many medications/drugs out there. It gives out the information required in order to work as a fully competent nurse as well as nursing considerations warning us about the things we need tolook out for, in the end it is a book that over the years develops and as the years pass it keeps developing due to the fact that new medication are always coming out. It is incredibly resourceful andin general it is a great book, I would highly recommend picking it up and reading it, you never know when you are going to be in a situation where you need to know the medication that you are taking.Lethal Morphine Intoxication In A Patient A Sickle Cell Crisis And Renal Impairment: Case Report And A Review Of The Literature
