REVIEWS

Thorough, comprehensive manual on IV therapeutics. “Gorski, the author, is considered the final word in all matters of IV therapeutics. This book is an extension of her previous work with the Infusion Nursing Society Guidelines. I use this book to update nursing educational materials. It is clear, concise, but quite thorough. I like the layout of the book which includes plenty of tables and graphs along with quick "need to know" material highlighted in box format. A great go-to guide for any nurse involved with infusions.”—Andrea, Online Reviewer
