Davis’s Canadian Drug Guide for Nurses, 20th Edition is a comprehensive nursing drug reference adapted specifically for Canadian practice. Based on the trusted US edition, this guide delivers hundreds of generic drug monographs and thousands of trade names using a unique Cure & Care approach to medication safety and nursing practice.

Designed for both nursing students and practicing nurses, the app provides essential drug information needed to safely administer medications across the lifespan. The Cure section explains what the drug does, while the Care section outlines nursing responsibilities and the relationship between the nursing process and pharmacotherapeutics.

The guide includes high-alert medication flags, life-threatening side effects highlighted in red bold capital letters, REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) icons, and extensive drug interaction warnings covering drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-natural product interactions. It also provides special considerations for geriatric, obstetric, lactation, pediatric, reproductive, and at-risk patient populations.

• Additional drug monographs approved in Canada but not in the US

• Canadian trade names for many medications

• Summaries of key differences between US and Canadian pharmaceutical practices
