This 1997 edition marks the twenty-

fourth year of publication of

Intrave-

nous Medications

Annual revisions meet the tremendous

need for clear, concise, complete, and

accurate information on newly released

and existing IV drugs. This has been a

huge year for new IV drug approvals

by the FDA. Sixteen new drugs are in-

cluded (two are available only in

Canada and the United Kingdom, and

one is a new formulation of an old

product [warfarin] with a newly ap-

proved FDA indication.) In addition,

there are many important updates,

such as changes in dose, additional

disease-specific doses, refinements in

dosing applications, new indications,

new drug interactions, additional pre-

cautions, and new information in anti-

dotes. In some of the monographs,

you’ll find new, helpful charts for dilu-

tion and/or rate of administration. In

the Appendix of this User’s Guide,

you’ll find a key to abbreviations. In the

“Introduction” section (found under

the menu item “Drugs”), the Important

IV Therapy Facts are grouped to help

identify the information you want

quickly.

Health care today is an intense envi-

ronment. The speed of change is over-

whelming, but the authors and

publisher of

Intravenous Medications

have a commitment to provide all

health professionals who have the re-

sponsibility to administer IV medica-

tions with complete, accurate, current

information in a clear, concise, acces-

sible, and reliable tool. Each specific

drug must be able to be interpreted for

a specific patient. All drugs currently

approved for intravenous use (with the

exception of opaque dyes used in radi-

ology, some general anesthetics used

only in OR, and a few rarely used

drugs [see Appendix B] are included.

In addition, all information has been

thoroughly revised to incorporate the

most current documented knowledge

available.

Intravenous Medications

is designed

for use in critical care areas, as the

nursing station, in the office, in public

Preface

health and home care settings, and by

students and the armed services. Per-

tinent information can be found in a

few seconds. Take advantage of its

availability and quickly review every in-

travenous medication before adminis-

tration.

The nurse is frequently placed in a vari-

ety of difficult situations. While the

physician verbally requests or writes

an order, the nurse must evaluate it for

appropriateness, prepare it, administer

it, and observe the effects. Intravenous

drugs are instantly absorbed into the

bloodstream, hopefully leading to a

prompt therapeutic action, but the risk

of an inappropriate reaction is a con-

stant threat that can easily become a

frightening reality. It will be the nurse

who must initiate emergency mea-

sures should adverse effects occur.

This is an awesome responsibility.

If, after reviewing the information in

In-

travenous Medications

, you have any

questions about any order you are

given, clarify it with the physician, con-

Preface

sult with the pharmacist, or consult

your supervisor. The circumstances

will determine whom you approach

first. If the physician thinks it is impera-

tive to carry out an order even though

you have unanswered questions or

concerns, never hesitate to request

that the physician administer the drug,

drug combination, or dose himself or

herself. In this era of constant change,

the physician should be very willing to

supply you, your supervisor, and/or

the pharmacist with current studies

documenting the validity and appropri-

ateness of orders.

All information presented in this prod-

uct is pertinent only to the intravenous

use of the drug and not necessarily to

intramuscular, subcutaneous, oral, or

other means of administration.

Introduction

Your new BOOKMAN book card is a

powerful, portable electronic reference

that you can use anywhere. Simply in-

stall it into your BOOKMAN and you’re

ready to go.

Using this book, you can search for

detailed monographs by generic and

trade name drugs, by categories of

drugs, and even by words appearing in

monographs. Cross-references, foot-

notes, and tables provide additional in-

formation.

You can also place your own book-

marks in the text to quickly find the

drug monographs and other sections

that you use most often, as well as

look up the meanings of abbreviations,

and transfer words to look them up in

other relevant BOOKMAN books.

This User’s Guide is accompanied

by a self-adhesive instruction label

that can affixed to the inside top
