Description
When home and hospice care providers carry MOSBY'S HOME CARE AND HOSPICE DRUG HANDBOOK, they have the most current drug information at
their side. It includes introductory chapters on Medicare, home infusion therapy, and special patient populations; detailed coverage
of drugs commonly used in home and hospice care organized by disorder or condition; and a four-color drug identification atlas. This
handy resource also highlights important information such as nursing implications, contraindications, patient education, and documentation
for quality and reimbursement. It's the only handbook that focuses on the drug information that home care and hospice providers need
when caring for their unique, growing patient population.
