The 4th edition includes new features such as: guidelines for communication with the deaf, hard-of-hearing and non-English speaking patients; expanded discussion of venipuncture and IV drug administration; effects, precautions and dosages of specific drugs used in radiology; an increased emphasis on self care; the latest techniques and devices to avoid exposure to blood-borne pathogens including CDC infection control guidelines; and updated information on MRI and CT.
