The most popular pocket reference in emergency nursing is now available in a completely updated 6th edition.

The new 6th edition features comprehensive content updates in every section with the latest information about infectious diseases, namely influenza, MRSA, C-diff and Norovirus; and drugs, including dosages for Fentanyl, Lorazepam (Ativan) and Midazolam, and new drip charts added to the emergency drug section.
