ISBN: 9781284170252 | © 2021 | 598 pages

Mastering dosage calculation is a critical skill for any student pursuing a career in nursing. Many students struggle with the math related to calculating accurate dosages, while faculty are challenged with finding the right approach to make the process less intimidating. Clinical Nursing Calculations, Second Edition takes a comprehensive approach to dosage calculation by teaching all three methods: dimensional analysis, formula method and ratio proportion. Unlike any other text on the market, it displays all three methods in a side-by-side format to facilitate learning multiple ways to solve problems. The authors also employ the CASE (Convert-Approximate-Solve-Evaluate) approach to foster a systematic method for clinical dosage calculation. Students put their critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills to use as they approximate and evaluate, both of which are vital to safe medication administration.
