title: Drug information and educational needs. A survey of rural home health care nurses.
abstract: In a study of rural home healthcare nurses' drug information and educational needs, data were collected from 40 nurses employed by a community-based public home health agency. The most serious drug-related problem identified by the nurses was patients' failure to receive prescribed drugs. The ten types of drug-related information included in the survey were viewed as very useful. The most frequently used sources of drug-related information were reference books, other nurses, and pharmacists.
