What Types of Drug Reference Guides are Available?
There are several types of drug reference guides available, each catering to different needs. Printed guides, such as the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) and nursing-specific drug handbooks, have been traditional resources. However, digital and online databases, like Micromedex, Lexicomp, and Epocrates, offer real-time updates and are becoming increasingly popular. Mobile apps provide the convenience of accessing information on-the-go, which is particularly beneficial for nurses in fast-paced healthcare environments.
