One of the most critical jobs for home caregivers is the careful management of a patient's medications. In the fourth volume of The Home Care Companion (see VL-9/98), registered nurse Marion Karpinski presents a well organized guide to medication safety using clear demonstrations in realistic settings, and presentations by various medical experts. Topics include drugs and the elderly, what to ask the doctor and pharmacist, different ways to administer medications, how to recognize the need for assistance, adverse reactions, medication storage, over the counter drug use, and more. A solid addition to this useful series. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Shannon)
