Product Description
Using a straightforward, real-life approach, this book focuses on mathematical calculations used in the clinical setting. It provides coverage of the ratio and proportion and formula methods of drug calculation. Common medications and methods of administration are used, including examples such as syringe usage, oral and parenteral medications, and medication reconstitution. Other examples, such as insulin, heparin, and intake and output, apply to specific patient populations. The math review sections build a strong foundation with hundreds of practice problems. To minimize medication errors, current safety recommendations from the Joint Committee on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) are addressed with safety alerts, clinical alerts, human error alerts, and human error checks. Instructor resources available. * All content, examples, problems, and scenarios are clinically based. * Over 500 full-color illustrations include drug labels, parenteral and oral syringes, medicine cups, pumps, IV equipment, and more. * More than 1,200 problems provide practice needed to master drug calculations. * Current JCAHO and ISMP recommendations are followed: prescriptions are written out, and those abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols not recommended by the ISMP are avoided. * Clinical Connections begin each chapter and explain how that topic relates to clinical practice. * Inside front and back cover includes formulas, sound-alike drugs that have been associated with medication errors, and a list of dangerous abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols for easy reference. * Safety Alerts, Clinical Alerts, Human Error Alerts, andHuman Error Checks are included to promote safe practice.

Required workbook for my Nursing School curriculum. Beginning sections are a great review of those math skills learned so long ago! Easy to follow instructions. A liitle annoying that the answer key is on CD because I am not always near a computer when I am going through the workbook.
