This essential resource provides valuable information on effective symptom management, patient education, and chemotherapy administration.

Completely revised and updated, the 2020-2021 Oncology Nursing Drug Handbook includes separate chapters on molecular and immunologic/biologic targeted therapies. These chapters provide fundamental reviews to assist nurses in understanding the cellular communication pathways disrupted by cancer. It also offers simplified content, attention to understanding the immune checkpoint inhibitors, new information about immunotherapy, new drugs and their indications, and updated indications and side effects for drugs recently approved by the FDA.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2020-01-06*

Not useful without paying 59.99 for basically any content you click on.

**Developer response:** The content is provided by the publisher and we are required to charge for full content.  10% of the content is accessible in order to let customers see some of the layout to determine if this would meet their needs.  We also offer a 30-day refund for purchases made on our web site.

### 4/5 — Very good but a clarifying question

*2019-01-16*

The content on this app looks to be useful and I recognize the author names from other oncology nursing resources, which increases my trust. However: does the $60 “lifetime access” fee include automatic content updates? Otherwise, it hardly seems worthwhile. Thanks!

**Developer response:** We are happy to hear you find our resources trustworthy, we receive the content directly from our publishers.  When you purchase our resources you receive one year of free content updates, after which time you can use the version you own as long as you want.
