Use the simplicity of dimensional analysis to make accurate drug
calculations! Mulholland's The Nurse, The Math, The Meds, 5th
Edition helps you overcome any math anxiety you may have by clearly
explaining how to use the dimensional analysis method to minimize
drug calculation errors. First, a review of basic math ensures that

analyze and set up problems, estimate a reasonable answer, and
evaluate the answer for accuracy. From nursing educator Susan J.
Turner, this edition includes plenty of practice exercises as well
as new Next Generation NCLEX (R) (NGN) case studies to prepare you
for the NGN exam. UNIQUE! Useful FAQs and answers in each chapter
are based on years of classroom questions compiled by the author.
UNIQUE! Communication boxes show sample nurse-patient and
nurse-prescriber dialogues that can help reduce medication errors.
UNIQUE! Ask Yourself questions help you synthesize information and
reinforce your comprehension. Rapid Practice quizzes provide
practice problems following each new topic, making it easy to
master both math concepts and drug calculation at the same time.
Mnemonics offer shortcuts to make memorization easier, and save
time in learning. Red arrow alerts call attention to potential math
errors and patient safety issues. High-risk drug icons are used to
highlight potentially dangerous drugs. QSEN competencies are
included where appropriate. Multiple choice-format questions at the
end of each chapter help you review the material and prepare for
the NCLEX (R) exam. Chapter finals boost your understanding by

The emerging study of technology in space has been shaping human
interaction with physical, social, and technological worlds.
Drawing upon a wide range of information technology disciplines,
this field is now grabbing the attention of many, including
computer scientists, anthropologists, and psychologists craving for
more on this intriguing new field.""Exploration of Space,
Technology, and Spatiality: Interdisciplinary Perspectives"" offers
stimulating research currently bridging the areas of space,
spatiality, and technology. A must-read for researchers and
scholars working at the intersection of physical, social, and
technological space, this book provides critical research from
leading experts in the space technology domain - an essential
resource for any academic collection.
This book describes findings of a survey-based qualitative research
study conducted among Detroit employers in the auto industry to
evaluate explanations for why blacks are no longer catching up with
whites in terms of wages, income and employment. A key finding is
the fact that black employers were more likely to hire black
workers, but both black and white employers with largely black
workforces pay significantly lower wages than employers with
largely white workforces. This wage difference is the organizing
element of subsequent study chapters that address locational
considerations, differences in recruitment and hiring practices
among firms and possible differences in skill requirements among
black and white-owned firms, and/or differences in skill-related
worker characteristics among employees.

Unearthing the amazing hidden stories of women who changed
paleontology forever. For centuries, women have played key roles in
defining and developing the field of vertebrate paleontology. Yet
very little is known about these important paleontologists, and the
true impacts of their contributions have remained obscure. In
Rebels, Scholars, Explorers, Annalisa Berta and Susan Turner
celebrate the history of women "bone hunters," delving into their
fascinating lives and work. At the same time, they explore how the
discipline has shaped our understanding of the history of life on
Earth. Berta and Turner begin by presenting readers with a review
of the emergence of vertebrate paleontology as a science,
emphasizing the contributions of women to research topics and
employment. This is followed by brief biographical sketches and
explanations of early discoveries by women around the world over
the past 200 years, including those who who held roles as
researchers, educators, curators, artists, and preparators. Forging
new territory, Berta and Turner highlight the barriers and
challenges faced by women paleontologists, describing how some
managed to overcome those obstacles in order to build careers in
the field. Finally, drawing on interviews with a diverse group of
contemporary paleontologists, who share their experiences and offer
recommendations to aspiring fossil hunters, they provide
perspectives on what work still needs to be done in order to ensure
that women's contributions to the field are encouraged and
celebrated. Uncovering and relating lost stories about the pivotal
contributions of women in vertebrate paleontology doesn't just make
for enthralling storytelling, but also helps ensure a richer and
more diverse future for this vibrant field. Illuminating the
discoveries, collections, and studies of fossil vertebrates
conducted by women in vertebrate paleontology, Rebels, Scholars,
Explorers will be on every paleontologist's most-wanted list and
should find a broader audience in the burgeoning sector of readers
from all backgrounds eager to learn about women in the sciences.

While the world's attention is focused on the nuclearization of
North Korea and Iran and the nuclear brinkmanship between India and
Pakistan, China is believed to have doubled the size of its nuclear
arsenal, making it "the forgotten nuclear power," as described in
Foreign Affairs. Susan Turner Haynes analyzes China's buildup and
its diversification of increasingly mobile, precise, and
sophisticated nuclear weapons. Haynes provides context and clarity
to this complex global issue through an analysis of extensive
primary source research and lends insight into questions of why
China, is the only nuclear-weapon state recognized under the
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty that continues to pursue
qualitative and quantitative advancements to its nuclear force. As
the gap between China's nuclear force and the forces of the nuclear
superpowers narrows against the expressed interest of many nuclear
as well as non-nuclear states, Chinese Nuclear Proliferation offers
policy prescriptions to curtail China's nuclear growth and to
assuage fears that the "American World Order" presents a direct
threat to China's national security. Presenting technical concepts
with minimal jargon, in a straightforward style, this book will be
of use to casual China watchers and military experts alike.
This report assesses the effectiveness of correctional education
programs for both incarcerated adults and juveniles and the
