In which section of a drug handbook should a nurse look to determine if a drug has multiple uses?

Adverse effects
Indications
Nursing implications
Pharmacokinetics

The correct answer is: Indications

In a drug handbook, the indications section provides information about the different uses and conditions that a drug can treat or manage. Adverse effects (A) refers to the potential side effects of a drug and nursing implications (C) includes important considerations for administering a drug to a patient. Pharmacokinetics (D) focuses on how a drug moves through the body and is metabolized. Therefore, B is the best section to determine if a drug has multiple uses.
