The ability to calculate and check drug doses quickly and accurately is a skill every nurse must acquire. This book is designed to help the student nurse acquire this skill and to refresh and update the skills of nurses returning to the profession. The book reviews the arithmetic fundamental to drug calculations. Using examples, explanations and practice questions (with answers) it covers the calculations required to administer injections, tablets and mixtures; to dilute solutions; to arrive at drip rates; and to administer paediatric doses safely. It puts calculations in the context of "on the ward" drug-dispensing situations.

Review:
"I welcome the 7th edition of this brilliant book and highly recommend it. The arithmetic is based on calculations that are regularly used by the caring profession, namely kilograms, grams, milligrams, micrograms, litres and millilitres. The authors demonstrate several methods of converting these various measurements into each other achieved by worked examples. These are then followed by numerous questions for the readers to answer themselves; the answers are at the back of the book. This invaluable 'hands on' book should be read as a refresher by anyone who is involved in medication and is a must for those who are new to the caring profession." Distance Learning Tutor.Journal of Community Nursing. May 2007. Vol 21 issue 5
