Summary: If You Want to Keep Your License, Don't Buy This Book
Comment: The concept of this book is good, however,it contains outdated and erroneous information. For example, it lists Decubitus Ulcer orders that are dangerous and are no longer practiced. First of all, the term is now referred to as "Pressure Ulcer" and the use of sheepskins, eggcrate mattresses and heat lamps are contraindicated in the treatment of pressure ulcers. In fact, the AHCPR guidelines (N15) clearly warn against the use of such measures for the treatment of pressure ulcers and the exact opposite is true-to keep the wound moist and not to let it dry out (which will inhibit healing). The prescriber could be setting him/herself up for litigation.

Summary: Manual of Admitting Orders and Therpapeutics
Comment: Of great help as I started my residency, especially on late nights when you are afraid you might have missed an order. This book gives you all the things you need to order when doing an admission on topics from MI to GI bleed to Meningitis, Seizures and many more. It does it in the "ADVANDISML" style with explanations for each order on the side. Also orders for the most common proceedures such as Swan-Ganz, Thoracentesis, and chest tubes to name a few. Has common drugs formulary as well. I have not used this book as much as I did during first year, but I was glad to have it then. I recommend it!
