I dedicate this work to my daughter Lauren, a true friend, for her unconditional love; my daughter Kathryn, always supportive, always encouraging; and my son Keith, a source of great pride to us all. This is also dedicated to my sons-in-law, Jim and Andy, who have added so very much to my family, and to my grandchildren, Paige Olivia, Logan James, Ryan James, and Dylan Boyd. I couldn t love you more.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHIES

Barbara B. Hodgson, RN, OCN
Born and raised in Michigan, Barbara was married and raising a young family in Chicago when she decided to fulfill a lifelong dream and become a nurse. After graduation, she started her own business as author and publisher of Medcards, The Total Medication Reference Guide, the first of its kind. These drug cards were designed to assist nursing students in understanding drug information to give knowledgeable care to their patients.
In 1981, she met co-author Robert (Bob) Kizior, who was teaching a pharmacology class. After class, Barbara approached him and asked if he would be interested in working on Medcards with her. He agreed, and together they became so successful that a few years later Barbara was able to fulfill another dream and move to Florida.
By 1987, Barbara was approached by W.B. Saunders and asked to author the Saunders Nursing Drug Handbook. Since then, Barbara and Bob have worked together on this handbook and on two more drug resources, the Saunders Electronic Nursing Drug Cards and the Saunders Drug Handbook for Health Professions.
Barbara specialized in oncology at the Cancer Institute, St. Joseph s Hospital, in Tampa, Florida, and at Morton Plant Mease Northbay Hospital in New Port Richey, Florida. Barbara s daughter Lauren is a nurse manager, and her daughter Kathryn, her son Keith, and her son-in-law Jim are all nurses, working in their respective fields of patient care.
Barbara s favorite interests are spending time with her very busy, tight-knit family and, when she has a rare moment, getting her hands full of dirt working in her garden.

Robert (Bob) J. Kizior, BS, RPh
Bob graduated from the University of Illinois School of Pharmacy and is licensed to practice in the state of Illinois. He has worked as a hospital pharmacist for more than 40 years at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, Illinois-a suburb of Chicago. Bob is the Pharmacy Surgery Coordinator for the Department of Pharmacy, where he participates in educational programs for pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and patients. He plays a major role in coordinating pharmacy services in the OR satellite. Bob is a former adjunct faculty member at William Rainey Harper Community College in Palatine, Illinois. It was there that Bob first met Barbara and commenced their long-standing professional association.
An avid fan of Big Ten college athletics, Bob also has eclectic tastes in music that range from classical, big band, rock n roll, and jazz to country and western. Bob spends much of his free time reviewing the professional literature to stay current on new drug information.
