Book Description

ISBN-10: 1401831222 | ISBN-13: 978-1401831226 | Publication Date: July 7, 2004 | Edition: 9

Follow the leader. Math for Meds has helped nearly one million nurses and other health care professionals become safe practitioners of dosage calculations. This classic resource continues to blaze the trail into a ninth edition, with its ratio and proportion method and building-block organization. Hundreds of full-color images of drug labels, syringes, and equipment complement the range of calculation competencies - from reading medication labels to calculating flow rates for heparin infusion. The straightforward language has also been retained, as the ninth edition preserves the tradition of making the complex understandable.

This review is from: Math for Meds: Dosage and Solutions (Paperback)

I am in my first semester of nursing and this is our "required" math book. I have to be 100% honest and tell you that this book is the greatest thing since apple pie. If I can understand this book, and I'm no math wiz, you'll be pleased and surprised with your new math abilities. I certainly am!

This review is from: Math for Meds: Dosage and Solutions (Paperback)

I actually needed to purchase the 10th Ed of this book and accidently purchased this book. I later bought the correct edition and they are identical. The book was brand new and in great condition when delivered and arrived promptly. I needed this book for nursing school and it has alot of must need problems and questions that are necessary in order to be successful within any program.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Math for Meds: Dosage and Solutions (Paperback)

I bought this book for my first semester of nursing classes. I haven't started my classes yet, but I have been working my way through the book ahead of time. It is very easy to read and understand. Step-by-step instructions are concise along with examples. Many examples for you to complete yourself with answers to check your work. Summary tests at the end of each chapter are great too. I am not worried about understanding the concepts in this book once my class starts. I feel very prepared for my class.
