Dosage Calculations [With CDROM]

I really like this book because it is very detailed and is has alot of pictures that are easy to see and read. It is a great addition to add to my textbook.

i had an amazing teacher for medical dosage, and he recommended this book ( the department actually assigned a different book). this book was great, it makes learning fool proof. everything is explained in full, clear detail and makes it for an easy A grade. i'm reviewing it now for a challenge exam to be exempt from a medical dosage class ( since i took it already in another school) and i have no doubt i will ace the test, even without a professor

This is the book we used for my BSN program Dosage Calculation class and I thought it was great. It starts you from the beginning (fractions, ratios, etc) and goes from there. There is no need for a teacher when using this book, it explains things very well and in a simple, easy to read/understand manner. Excellent for the beginner. I actually enjoy doing dosage calculations now.

I bought this book for a math for nurses class. I took the class because even after all the math classes I've taken, math is still a struggle for me and this was a last effort before I start nursing school. THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL! For the first time ever, "I get it." I feel totally comfortable with calculations now. The book gives you several different methods to solving and you can pick the one that works best for you. It's easy to read and has great examples. 5 stars!!!!!

This book is an excellent tool for learning to convert dosage calculations. Whether you are a beginner or wanting to brush up on your existing skills, the exercises contained in the book gradually become more difficult allowing you to skip the easier questions if necessary and jump straight to the more advanced problems. There are plenty of review problems to work out that ensure you are knowledgable of the material before you move on to the next chapter. There are clear, easy to follow instructions on various methods of calculating dosages so that you may choose the method that works best for you. There are word problems that portray actual scenarios that might be encountered in your career, rather than just hypothetical ideas. The book contains exellent photographs of actual medicine labels and medical equipment to familiarize you with what you will encounter. Each piece of information on the medicine label is defined for you in this book and it shows you samples of where to look and recognize this important information. The accompanying CD ROM is easy to follow and is an exellent study partner to the book. The initial introduction/test on the CD ROM will spot your areas of weakness and show you where you need to focus your attention. The directions are clear and to-the-point. You won't find a better book to learn dosage calculations anywhere. This book is simply the best and an asset to anyone's personal medical library.
