Medical and Nursing

Written expressly for nurses caring for patients with cancer, the 2009 Oncology Nursing Drug Handbook uniquely expresses drug therapy in terms of the nursing process: nursing diagnoses, etiologies of toxicities, and key points for nursing assessment, intervention, and evaluation. An essential reference updated annually, the text provides valuable information on effective symptom management, patient education, and chemotherapy administration.
