, Acquisitions Editor The clinical treatments described and recommended in this publica-
Bill Lamsback tion are based on research and consultation with nursing, medical,
and legal authorities. To the best of our knowledge, these procedures

sidered absolute and universal recommendations. For individual
Product Manager applications, all recommendations must be considered in light of the
Rosanne Hallowell patient’s clinical condition and, before administration of new or infre-
quently used drugs, in light of the latest package-insert information.
Copy Editor The authors and publisher disclaim any responsibility for any adverse
Amy Furman effects resulting from the suggested procedures, from any undetected
