Loaded with information and tables on NSAIDS and opioid analgesics, this compact but potent 73-page handbook from the prestigious American Pain Society covers everything:

• average dosages

• brand names

• dose intervals

• maximum daily doses

• pediatric doses

• efficacy comparisons

• plasma half-life

You'll also learn why some patients, especially children, are shy about reporting pain. You can identify the presence of acute pain by checking for pallor, dilated pupils, profuse persipiration, hypertension, and tachycardia even before patients report they're experiencing pain.

Note: This course offers credit to all licensees, including those with a speciifc pain and symptom management requirement (eg, MI for DDS, RDH, and RDA).
