Use the simplicity of dimensional analysis to make accurate drug calculations! Mulholland’s The Nurse, The Math, The Meds, 5th Edition helps you overcome any math anxiety you may have by clearly explaining how to use the dimensional analysis method to minimize drug calculation errors. First, a review of basic math ensures that you remember essential math skills. The book then shows how to analyze and set up problems, estimate a reasonable answer, and evaluate the answer for accuracy. From nursing educator Susan J. Turner, this edition includes plenty of practice exercises as well as new Next Generation NCLEX® (NGN) case studies to prepare you for the NGN exam.

    • 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 that can help reduce medication errors
    • UNIQUE! Ask Yourself questions help you synthesize information and reinforce your comprehension
    • Rapid Practice quizzes provide practice problems following each new topic, making it easy to master both math concepts and drug calculation at the same time
    • Mnemonics offer shortcuts to make memorization easier, and save time in learning
    • Red arrow alerts call attention to potential math errors and patient safety issues
    • High-risk drug icons are used to highlight potentially dangerous drugs
    • QSEN competencies are included where appropriate
    • Multiple choice-format questions at the end of each chapter help you review the material and prepare for the NCLEX® exam
    • Chapter finals boost your understanding by providing additional practice with the major concepts covered in each chapter; the answer key shows how to work out the problems
    • Comprehensive final practice boosts your understanding by providing additional practice with the major concepts covered through the entire text; the answer key shows how to work out the problems
    • NEW! Next Generation NCLEX® case studies are included in the chapters on antidiabetes, anticoagulants, pediatrics, and advanced IV calculations
    • NEW! All drugs and their medication labels are updated, 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

      • This e-publication is accessible to the full extent that the file format and types of content allow, on a specific reading device, by default, without necessarily including any additions such as textual descriptions of images or enhanced navigation
      • All content can be read as read aloud speech or dynamic braille
      • Has alternative text descriptions for images
    • Conformance
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
      • Index with links to referenced entries
      • Elements such as headings, tables, etc. for structured navigation
      • Page list to go to pages from the print source version
    • Rich Content
      • Math formulas in accessible format (MathML)
      • Information-rich images are described by extended descriptions
    • Hazards
      • The publication contains no hazards
    • Product Content
      • Content includes any type of illustrations.
      • The primary content is text.
      • Content includes maps and/or other cartographic content.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) web links to external content, downloadable resources, supplementary material, etc.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, 'choose your own ending', etc.).
      • Content includes photographs, whether in a plate section / insert or not.
      • Content includes figures, diagrams, charts and/or graphs, including other 'mechanical' (i.e. non-photographic) illustrations.
      • Content includes images displayed in a specific order for the purpose of graphic storytelling or giving information (e.g. graphic novels, comics and manga). May include text integrated into the image (as speech and thought bubbles, textual 'sound' effects, captions etc.).
      • Content includes text within images, including text-as-text embedded in diagrams, charts, or within images containing speech balloons, thought bubbles, captions, etc.
      • Content includes visual content that is purely decorative and is not necessary to understanding of the content.
      • Content includes mathematical notations, formulae.
      • At least some text - including text within other images - is 'text as an image' (i.e., a picture of text).
    • Legal Considerations
      • No information is available
    • Additional Accessibility Information
