Care has been taken to confirm the accuracy of the information presented and to describe
generally accepted practices. However, the authors, editors, and publisher are not responsible for
errors or omissions or for any consequences from application of the information in this book
and make no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the currency, completeness, or ac-
curacy of the contents of the publication. Application of this information in a particular situa-
tion remains the professional responsibility of the practitioner; the clinical treatments described
and recommended may not be considered absolute and universal recommendations.
The authors, editors, and publisher have exerted every effort to ensure that drug selection
and dosage set forth in this text are in accordance with the current recommendations and prac-
tice at the time of publication. However, in view of ongoing research, changes in government
regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions,
the reader is urged to check the package insert for each drug for any change in indications and
dosage and for added warnings and precautions. This is particularly important when the recom-
mended agent is a new or infrequently employed drug.
Some drugs and medical devices presented in this publication have Food and Drug Adminis-
tration (FDA) clearance for limited use in restricted research settings. It is the responsibility of
the health care provider to ascertain the FDA status of each drug or device planned for use in his
or her clinical practice.
No endorsement of specific actions of LPN/LVNs in violation of state statutes or Board of
Nursing rules was intended or implied in this book. Each nurse must assume the responsibility
to practice within the rules and guidelines of the state and of the healthcare area within which
he or she is employed.
