Dimensional analysis can simplify drug calculations! Mulholland’s The Nurse, The Math, The Meds, 5th Edition helps students overcome any math anxiety they may have by clearly explaining how to use the dimensional analysis method to minimize drug calculation errors. First, a review of basic math provides a refresher of essential math skills. The book then shows how to analyze and set up problems, estimate a reasonable answer, and evaluate the answer for accuracy. The only Elsevier text to exclusively teach the dimensional analysis method, Mulholland’s includes plenty of practice exercises as well as new Next Generation NCLEX® (NGN) case studies to prepare students for the NGN exam.

    • NEW! Next Generation NCLEX® case studies are included in the chapters on antidiabetes, anticoagulants, pediatrics, and advanced IV calculations.
    • NEW and Updated! All drugs and their medication labels are verified for currency, with new drugs and labels added and discontinued drugs and labels removed.
    • NEW and Updated! Coverage of diabetic and anticoagulant drugs adds new medications and replaces those that have been discontinued.
    • UNIQUE! Useful FAQs and answers in each chapter are based on years of classroom questions compiled by the author.
    • UNIQUE! Communication boxes show sample nurse-patient and nurse-prescriber dialogues, relating the math to the medications and to clinical application.
