I have a new respect for nurses and all medical professionals. While reading through this book, I was amazed by how complicated most of the prescription drugs are and how much interaction there is between them. To learn it all, be able to apply it to various situations and to keep abreast of new drugs always becoming available is a mind blowing task.The book describes each type of drug, what it does, names common and generic, side effects, who should and who should not take it, other drugs not compatible with it, and in some cases, what to do if someone has taken too much. Then there is a 5 question quiz. This is to prepare the nursing student for a test called the NCLEX.Even though I am not a nursing student, I can see that this book would be valuable not only to prepare for the test but also as a handy reference for after graduation.
