This handy introductory guide will enable student and professional nurses to perform drug calculations confidently and competently. Drug treatments given to patients in hospital are becoming increasingly more complex and often involve potent and, at times novel drugs. Many of these drugs are toxic or possibly fatal if administered incorrectly or in overdose.
In current nursing practice the need to calculate drug dosages is not uncommon; this practical guide will provide an aid to the basics of mathematics and drug calculations.
The authors have included detailed worked examples, graded exercises, problems and answers and a list of objectives to promote easy learning and self-assessment.
