Book Description
Fully revised for current practices and medication, this MEDICAL DOSAGE CALCULATIONS: A DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS APPROACH, 10/e remains
the field’s most complete, user-friendly and accessible drug
calculation text and workbook. Using the dimensional analysis format it
pioneered, students begin with simple arithmetic, progressing to the
most complex drug calculations. As they develop mathematical skills for
accurate dosage calculations, they also gain a thorough professional
understanding of safe drug administration. Compared with competitors,
our text contains deeper, more realistic problems, incorporating actual
dosages and requiring real critical thinking. Coverage includes
titrations, IV push, VCC, and other complex calculations. Updates
include: revised safety recommendations and insulin coverage; new
equipment and labeling photos; and 0.5 mL and needleless syringes.
Pedagogical aids include case studies, self-tests, and a website for
student resources.
