This review is from: Medications and Math for the Nurse (Paperback)

THIS BOOK IS VERY THOROUGH. IT TAKES YOU FROM BASIC MATH,CALCULATING DOSAGES & SOLUTIONS, READING DRUG ORDERS,TYPES AND USAGES OF DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS AND MORE. THE BOOK GIVES DETAILED EXPLANATIONS FOR EVERY ASPECT OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION AND ANY NURSING STUDENT WILL FIND IT EXTREMELY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.
