For nurses too! pediatric lifesaver.

This book condenses down large drug books into something that can be quickly used. This book is so worn on the pediatric unit I am doing clinicals on it looks like a book 20 years old. How it works is it gives you safe doses for meds for children. All you need to do is figure out the kg weight and then the med dose is described per kg.

The other gem of the book is the diagnosis section in the front. It contains color photos of skin disorders. Has helpful charts & diagrams. If you are in the medical field and will ever have a child as a patient you cannot do wrong with this great pocket guide.

useful summation

The editors at Johns Hopkins Hospital has compiled a comprehensive list of pertinent advice for those medical professionals treating children.

All the common drugs likely to be used on children are described in summary form, with advice about dosages and warnings. This section of the book could be used by nurses and doctors.

More specialised sections delve into cardiology and internal medicine. These sections are perhaps more the purview of doctors than nurses.

The book does not replace full textbooks on the various fields. But is a useful summation.
