Summary "Dosages and Calculations, Second Edition will prepare the reader to calculate correct doses of medications. Geared towards all health professionals who administer or will need to know how to administer medication, this competency-based manual gives a clear and concise approach to the study of dosages. Updated to include information on universal health precautions and personal protective equipment, it is designed to guide a student from the most basic mathematics to sophisticated calculations of acid base balance and logarithms. Each sequence addresses new topics identified in the chapter objectives and concurrently reinforces tasks learned in previous chapters. Working knowledge of basic mathematical skills are necessary to begin, but as the text progressively builds from simple problems to more complex problems, the reader will soon learn to master the material. Dosages and Calculations, Second Edition, also includes a comprehensive glossary, learning objectives, review questions with answer key, example problems and illustrations."--BOOK JACKET
