Med-Math: Dosage Calculation, Preparation and Administration

By Grace Henke

Book Overview

This workbook-style text reviews basic maths skills and teaches dosage measurements, calculating dosages and principles of drug administration. It offers a choice between two calculating methods - Desired over Have and Ratio and Proportion - and covers all forms of drug calculation problems, including oral, injections (from liquids and powders), IV drips and piggyback intermittent infusions. One complete chapter is offered on dosage problems for infants and children. New to this edition are: drug labels throughout; expanded IV content for basic and advanced; an expanded glossary; and body surface monograms for children and adults. There are exercises, self-tests and end-of-chapter answer keys.
