Preface
This 1997 edition marks the twentyfourth year of publication of
nous Medications
Annual revisions meet the tremendous
need for clear, concise, complete, and
accurate information on newly released
and existing IV drugs. This has been a
huge year for new IV drug approvals
by the FDA. Sixteen new drugs are included (two are available only in
Canada and the United Kingdom, and
one is a new formulation of an old
product [warfarin] with a newly approved FDA indication.) In addition,
there are many important updates,
such as changes in dose, additional
disease-specific doses, refinements in
dosing applications, new indications,
new drug interactions, additional precautions, and new information in antidotes. In some of the monographs,
you’ll find new, helpful charts for dilution and/or rate of administration. In
the Appendix of this User’s Guide,
you’ll find a key to abbreviations. In the
“Introduction” section (found under
the menu item “Drugs”), the Important
.
Intrave-
IV Therapy Facts are grouped to help
identify the information you want
quickly.
Health care today is an intense environment. The speed of change is overwhelming, but the authors and
publisher of
have a commitment to provide all
health professionals who have the responsibility to administer IV medications with complete, accurate, current
information in a clear, concise, accessible, and reliable tool. Each specific
drug must be able to be interpreted for
a specific patient. All drugs currently
approved for intravenous use (with the
exception of opaque dyes used in radiology, some general anesthetics used
only in OR, and a few rarely used
drugs [see Appendix B] are included.
In addition, all information has been
thoroughly revised to incorporate the
most current documented knowledge
available.
Intravenous Medications
for use in critical care areas, as the
nursing station, in the office, in public

Preface
health and home care settings, and by
students and the armed services. Pertinent information can be found in a
few seconds. Take advantage of its
availability and quickly review every intravenous medication before administration.
The nurse is frequently placed in a variety of difficult situations. While the
physician verbally requests or writes
an order, the nurse must evaluate it for
appropriateness, prepare it, administer
it, and observe the effects. Intravenous
drugs are instantly absorbed into the
bloodstream, hopefully leading to a
prompt therapeutic action, but the risk
of an inappropriate reaction is a constant threat that can easily become a
frightening reality. It will be the nurse
who must initiate emergency measures should adverse effects occur.
This is an awesome responsibility.
If, after reviewing the information in
travenous Medications
questions about any order you are
given, clarify it with the physician, con-
, you have any
In-
sult with the pharmacist, or consult
your supervisor. The circumstances
will determine whom you approach
first. If the physician thinks it is imperative to carry out an order even though
you have unanswered questions or
concerns, never hesitate to request
that the physician administer the drug,
drug combination, or dose himself or
herself. In this era of constant change,
the physician should be very willing to
supply you, your supervisor, and/or
the pharmacist with current studies
documenting the validity and appropriateness of orders.
All information presented in this product is pertinent only to the intravenous
use of the drug and not necessarily to
intramuscular, subcutaneous, oral, or
other means of administration.

that you can use anywhere. Simply install it into your BOOKMAN and you’re

trade name drugs, by categories of
drugs, and even by words appearing in
monographs. Cross-references, footnotes, and tables provide additional information.
You can also place your own bookmarks in the text to quickly find the
drug monographs and other sections
that you use most often, as well as
look up the meanings of abbreviations,
and transfer words to look them up in
other relevant BOOKMAN books.
➤ Using the Instruction Label
This User’s Guide is accompanied
by a self-adhesive instruction label
that can affixed to the inside top
cover of your BOOKMAN for quick
reference.

turned on. If you do, information that
you entered in its built-in book and in
any installed book cards will be erased.
