Nursing2004 Herbal Medicine Handbook

The second edition of the Nursing Herbal Medicine Handbook is designed as a reference for nurses who want to be educated on the herbal remedies their patients are using. Alphabetically organized monographs on over 300 herbs and supplements make information quick and easy to find. Each herb is listed by its popular name, and each monograph contains alternate names and common trade names. Information on uses, dosage and administration, adverse effects, and drug interactions is included. Life-threatening adverse effects are highlighted in bold italic type. New to this edition is an A-to-Z listing of non-herbal alternative remedies. Appendices include topics on supplemental vitamins and minerals, herb-drug interactions, monitoring patients using herbs, and a glossary. Continuing education tests can be found on NDHnow.com.
