What is in the guide
73 drug cards, 44 drug class summaries, 132 practice questions and 8 reference guides. The drugs are the prototypes and high-alert medications that nursing pharmacology courses and the NCLEX focus on.
Each card covers what nurses need for safe administration: uses, mechanism, common side effects, adverse effects to report, nursing considerations, patient teaching, and boxed warnings, antidotes and therapeutic levels when they apply.
No doses, on purpose
Doses depend on the patient, the indication, the product and the facility, and they change. This guide does not give them. Always use the prescriber's order, the FDA-approved label and a current drug reference, and follow your facility's policies.
Sources
The content is written from FDA-approved prescribing information (including boxed warnings), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) high-alert medication lists, and widely used clinical guidelines and nursing pharmacology references. Ranges such as therapeutic drug levels are those commonly cited in nursing education; laboratories and protocols may use different values.
The content is checked automatically each time the site is published (every drug belongs to a class, every question has one correct answer and a rationale), and reviewed when labels or guidelines change.
