Title: Can't believe a PharmD wrote this stuff!
Review: The book is full of mistakes. Faculty voted on this book without getting my vote.On page 259 in Pharmacy Practice it states, "add 100 units Humulin Regular Insulin to D5W 500 mL @ 20 mL/hr". Insulin is for diabetics. Diabetics do not have the insulin to store and breakdown sugar. Why would we put the insulin into D5W (dextrose 5% in water). Dextrose is a SUGAR! The patient's blood sugar needs to be corrected quickly. Why would we put the insulin into 500 mL?!On page 48 in Pharmacy Practice the label for gentamicin is wrong. It reads 20 mL=80 mg. It should read 2 mL=80 mg. Big difference.The total number of errors is too numerous to mention.I can hardly wait until Jan of 2008 when our contract will be up and we can return to our Mosby Pharmacy Technician textbook.Don't buy this book. It a waste of $$.
