Features: This book consists of 20 chapters, compiling nearly 900 drugs. It essentially includes commonly used drugs listed in national pharmacopoeia, national essential medicines, and international generic medicines, as well as some newly used clinical drugs in recent years. The content is organized into five sections: drug name, dosage form, dosage and administration, application, and medication care, with a focus on medication care. In the new century, people's health concepts have changed, and health care has replaced disease care as a new trend in life. Preventive medication and rational medication are no longer considered novel topics. At the same time, the influx of a large number of new and imported drugs has provided people with greater space for medication and drug selection. All of this urgently requires pharmacists and nurses to take on the responsibility of grasping the new direction of medication and promptly and accurately introducing new knowledge and concepts of rational medication and medication care to the public. Therefore, we have revised and reprinted the Handbook of Common Drugs for Nurses. The new edition of the Handbook of Common Drugs for Nurses still adheres to the principles of rich content and portability, with simplicity and practicality as the guiding philosophy. A significant adjustment has been made to the book's content, with 121 drugs that are increasingly rarely used being removed and over 190 new and specialized drugs added. A substantial increase has been made in the treatment and care of drugs for 21st-century-oriented diseases such as malignant tumors and viral diseases like AIDS.
