Worried about getting the dose wrong? Don't know your fractions
from your decimals? You're not alone! Many people are not
comfortable with their mathematical abilities but for most it's not
a life or death situation. For nurses, however, a 'bad maths day'
can have catastrophic consequences if drug dosages are calculated
incorrectly. Practical Nursing Calculations provides easy to
understand explanations of key calculations. The many exercises
offer opportunities to practise basic problem-solving to help build
your confidence. The use of real-life situations demonstrates how
maths is actually applied when working with patients. Realistic
scenarios introduce common presenting illnesses and the medications
used to treat them, and enables you to calculate their correct
dosages. This book has been developed to assist you to gain
competency in basic mathematical skills and problem-solving
techniques which require applied or conceptual mathematics.
Practical Nursing Calculations has emerged from actual classroom
curriculum and ten years of teaching in a major nursing school.
Easy to use, Practical Nursing Calculations provides you with a
thorough grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics and a sense
of how to apply your knowledge in your professional lives. A sound
teaching and learning resource, this book is appropriate for
self-directed learning or as a classroom guide. This text is
