More important, nurses are expected to have these answers, especially when it comes to medication. Let Mosby’s 2021 Nursing Drug Reference be your answer. Our indispensable, yet compact, resource contains hundreds of monographs with several easyto-use features.

Every detail—the paper, typeface, cover, binding, use of color, and appendixes—has been carefully chosen with the user in mind. INDIVIDUAL DRUG MONOGRAPHS This book contains monographs for more than 1300 generic and 4500 trade medications. Common trade names are given for all drugs regularly used in the United States and Canada, with drugs available only in Canada identified by a maple leaf . The following information is provided, whenever possible, for safe, effective administration of each drug: High-alert status: Identifies high-alert drugs with a label and icon.

Rx/OTC: Identifies prescription or over-the-counter drugs.

I would also like to thank Luke Held and Sarah Vora, my editors, whose active encouragement and enthusiasm have made this book better than it might otherwise have been. I am likewise grateful to Jodi Willard for the coordination of the production process and assistance with the development of the new edition.
