Dosage Calculations: A Ratio-Proportion Approach PDF

Real world examples including common labels of medications,incorporated into the problems, for real world experience with dosage calculations.This was an excellent review for me as a seasoned ICU nurse who needed a review of dosage calculations.This book is a welcome addition to my reference library.A new nurse would benefit from having this book as it reviews and teaches everything you need to know about dosage calculation with a review of basic math,decimals,fractions,ratios etc.Worth the high price I paid.

For me this is the only book you need to learn for calculating med dosage in any medical field. Starts with a short review of ratio-proportion explanation and problems, as well the metric system review and percentage/decimal conversion problems. Book is full of application type problems and demonstrates solutions proceeding to sample problems and test questions. Solutions for problems is given at back of book. Demonstrates solutions and step by step procedure on how to arrive at the appropriate dosage when what is ordered is different from the supply on hand. IV solutions including how to calculate drops/min which will vary according to iv set used. An excellent resource for all.
