Reviewer: Ina Calligaro,  Pharm.D.  (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Description In its 10th edition, "The Teddy Bear Book" continues to be an invaluable, comprehensive resource on the appropriate use of over 200 parenteral medications in neonates, children, and adolescents. Purpose The authors achieve the goal of providing relevant, up-to-date, evidence-based information to enhance clinicians' ability to dose and administer parenteral medications safely and effectively in all pediatric patients. Audience This book is appropriate for all health professional students and practitioners who are responsible for the care of children. Features The information provided in the comprehensive monographs is critical for the proper administration of 238 parenteral medications. Information about the appropriate method(s) of delivery, maximum concentrations, and suitable diluents, combined with dosing guidelines for premature neonates, neonates, children, and adolescents, is not available in a single source. The organization of the information and use of a consistent format throughout the book makes it easy to quickly locate information. Assessment I have purchased every edition of this indispensable reference. It provides answers to questions that arise on a daily basis regarding the safe dosing and administration of parenteral medications to this vulnerable population. It should be on every pediatric patient care unit.
