Gahart's book, Intravenous Medications, has a
section on each monograph labelled Rate of
Administration. For each drug, they provide
specific information about the rate. This has
been recognized by many as an authoritative
resource on IV drug administration and one that
all nurses should have access to when giving IV
medications. Lynn
