E-Media Format: All purchasers of this PedSAP book also have access to the e-media
version. Follow these instructions to load the text and self-assessment questions in this
book onto your e-reader, tablet, or Android phone.
Electronic annotation: The online format of this book (PDF) can be saved to the desktop or
printed. The latest version of Adobe
Reader (available free) offers functionality such as highlighting or adding “sticky notes” to the
text.
Hyperlinks: This book contains both internal and external hypertext links. Clicking on the
intra-document links in the Table of Contents will take you to the page containing the
selected content. Clicking on external hyperlinks will take you away from the ACCP website
to the outside resource, guidelines, tools, or other information you have selected.
NOTE: To facilitate further learning and research, this publication incorporates live
hyperlinks to websites administered by other organizations. The URLs provided are those of
third parties not afiliated in any way with ACCP. ACCP assumes no liability for material
downloaded from or accessed on these websites. It is the responsibility of the reader to
examine the copyright and licensing restrictions of linked pages and to secure all necessary
permissions.
,Abbreviations, Laboratory Values: This table, which is also reached by links at the
beginning of each chapter, lists selected abbreviations and reference ranges for common
laboratory tests that can be used as a resource in completing the self-assess-ment
questions.
NOTE: The editors and publisher of PedSAP recognize that the development of this volume of
material offers many opportunities for error. Despite our best efforts, some errors may
persist into publication. Drug dosage schedules are, we believe, accurate and in accordance
with current standards. Readers are advised, however, to check package inserts for the
recommended dosages and contraindications. This is especially important for new,
infrequently used, and highly toxic drugs.
