Editorial Review:
Every nurse and other health care professionals have "important" reference information that they carry along with them into the clinical setting. This PDA companion software gives rapid access to more than 1,300 generic and 4,500 trade name drugs - all at the tap of a stylus. It contains the same great features to promote safe medication administration and prevention of drug errors, including high alert drugs, "Tall man" spellings for easily confused drug names, specially grouped administration-route considerations, highlighted lifespan considerations, do-not-crush and nursing alert icons, hundreds of special new do-not-confuse headings, and overdose treatment. The PDA software is navigated using the MobiPocket ReaderPro, making it virtually platform-independent. The ReaderPro is small enough that it will not slow down even older devices, and it offers many useful built-in features, including full text search, annotation and highlighting capability.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Unsable CD and worse tech assistance
The CD included with the 2005 guide is not compatable with all computers, no matter how new the computer is and the tech assistance number included is totally useless.
Save your money if you are planning on using the CD because it may not work in your computer (no matter how new it is) and the tech support line they say will be able to help is most kind but still clueless.
Bottom line is the CD is flawed and not usable.

Rating: - You Need PDA Drug Guide: This One's Not the Best
How many errors could be alleviated if more nurses looked up their meds?! However, since on most units, medbooks are only available in the medroom and a medbook is too bulky to carry in most cases, the sad fact is that meds are not looked up. My first PDA drug guide was Mosby's, which I have had for over a year; I now also own Davis's. I cannot tell you how many nurses have asked me to quickly look up their meds to see check on dosages, adverse reactions, or nursing considerations. More than one time the ... Read More
