Sorely lacking in basic data by Stacey W. Abdalla (Albuquerque, NM) 2 Stars
October 14, 2007
Quick review, I've barely used this book because almost everything I've tried to look up in it wasn't there, something as simple as Phenergan, I believe (I could be mistaken), but I think I remember looking for Zyprexa and it was not there, either. Not very appropriate for a typical hospice population, if you ask me, to not have either of those drugs present. Like I said, I could be wrong about it not specifically not listing Phenergan, but overall I felt extremely disappointed and feel I really wasted my money on this one.
