Dosage Calculations has been designed to help students and professionals gain additional comfort with mathematics and improve their ability to perform accurate drug dosage calculations. It features a three-step approach to calculating dosages, using the formula method that nurses, and other health care professionals prefer. A reader-friendly writing style and handy "work text" format is used throughout.
Color photos of actual medication labels and full-size syringes add realistic dimensions to the readings and interpretation of syringe scale problems, helping learners master measurement and dosage readings. This text is organized in a natural progression of basic to more complex information, giving learners self-confidence as they grasp content in small increments with ample review and reinforcement.
