1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a disappointment, August 9, 2005

The author did not do a thorough job in making clear how she arrived at her answers to sample questions. The CD is not helpful. I sold my copy and bought Math for Meds: dosage and solutions by Anne Curren; it starts from the basic and proceeds to the complex with easy-to-follow examples.

I agree with the previous review. The book isn't very helpful..doesn't do a good job of covering IV calculations either.
