Nursing student must-have. “This is a must-have. Hands down the best book ever.” — Jennifer S.
SAFETY FIRST WITH ‘CURE & CARE’!
Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses® Nineteenth Edition, delivers everything you need to administer medications safely across the lifespan—well-organized monographs encompassing hundreds of generic drugs and thousands of trade names.

Its nursing-focused ‘Cure & Care’ approach makes it the ideal resource for both student and practicing nurses by delivering exactly what they need to know to provide the very best care for their patients. ‘Cure’ explains what the drug does, while ‘Care’ describes what the nurse does and how the nursing process relates to the pharmacotherapeutics.
