A structured guide to dosage calculations

Dimensional analysis provides the organizing method for this guide to medication dosage calculations, from simpler problems to more complex ones. Its learning framework breaks the work into four steps—compute, convert, conceptualize, and critically evaluate—and the book includes more than 1,000 practice problems. Drug labels, electronic orders, medication administration records, and real-life scenarios connect the calculations with examples of the information and documentation involved in nursing practice. The third edition also covers patient safety and nursing standards, while presenting regulations and other requirements as part of its subject matter rather than as independently verified guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Nursing students preparing for dosage-calculation or med-math coursework
  • Learners who want a systematic method for working through dosage problems
  • Students seeking extensive practice with drug labels and order documentation
