SynopsisTomlinson/Boose's CURREN'S MATH FOR MEDS: DOSAGES AND SOLUTIONS, 12e, covers basic math concepts and systems of measurement for dosage calculation. Careful attention to practices encouraging safety in medication preparation, calculation and administration are outlined. Three common methods of dosage calculation are introduced. Examples encourage students to do practice problems using the method they are most comfortable with. Basic to advanced pediatric and intravenous (IV) calculations are addressed. Photos of drug labels, syringes, hundreds of examples, practice problems and summary test questions provide opportunities to practice interpreting labels of medications commonly seen in clinical practice. Examples guide students with information for safe, accurate dosage calculations. Clinical relevance summaries help connect information in the chapter to the clinical setting.
