Geriatric Dosage Handbook 2013: Including Clinical Recommendations and Monitoring Guidelines (Lexicomp Drug Reference Handbooks)

Overview

Geriatric Dosage Handbook 2013: Including Clinical Recommendations and Monitoring Guidelines (Lexicomp Drug Reference Handbooks) reads as a clinical handbook built around pharmacology and evidence-based practice. That gives it a clearer role than a general survey text.

Learning Approach

The handbook format is useful for selective reading. It is better treated as a practical reference than as a long narrative text.

Likely Readers

The natural reader is medicine readers, medical students, clinicians, and healthcare library buyers. A casual browser may miss the point; this is more useful when the buyer already has a course, rotation, certification, or clinical problem in mind.

Subject Focus

• Guideline, policy, or evidence-based material gives the book a useful connection to current practice standards.

Editorial Notes

The tone is best approached as professional reference material. It should reward readers who need precise terminology and a clear route back to the subject later.
