Learn the most common methods of drug calculation, and use the one that is right for you! Clinical Calculations: With Applications to General and Specialty Areas, 11th Edition, helps you learn to calculate drug dosages accurately. The book begins with a review of basic math, then explains the four major drug calculation methods — basic formula, ratio and proportion, fractional equation, and dimensional analysis — plus body weight and body surface area. It also includes practice problems not only for general care but also for specialty areas such as pediatrics and critical care. Emphasizing patient safety above all else, this market-leading text provides excellent preparation for the Next Generation NCLEX® examination.
