Books on IV therapy?

Published

Can anyone rec. a great book on IV therapy? I really love the book for fluids/electrolytes (Fluids & Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy) that I bought after looking it over before buying. I can't seem to find stuff on IV therapy at local libraries/bookstores to see if it would be a good buy. I know there is one similar to the above... but don't know if people rec. it as highly. Thanks :kiss

the students like the "made incredibly easy" series of books and there is a book for iv therapy and for fluids and electrolytes in this series. they run about $40. the border's bookstore near me carries almost all the books in this series or you view the table of contents of these books as well as buy them online from the large booksellers.

i can tell you about websites (they're free!). see

We are currently using "Manual of I.V. Therapeutics" by Lynn Diane Phillips, and it is a great book. It is about $40, real good and easy to understand.

I vote for Plumbers principles and practices of IV therapy. I passed the CRNI test in 1990 with just this book. I have taken it every 3 years since and still use this to study. I think it in its 8th edition. The book from INS is good but they need an update it is 2002 and is a bit picy at 100 bucks. I have Lynn Philips as well and find Plumbers to be more in depth and more to my taste
