This is the book we used back when I was in Medication Administration. Very easy to understand, learn from to get that 100% on Med Math exams every semester and how to give medications in the clinical setting.
The book wasn't too bad. I passed the dosage exam. As far as the test, knowing the acronyms and having the general gist of what would be expected of me on the test was helpful. Being good at everyday math and how to turn a word problem into numbers helped a lot more though.
This book is shameful. I only gave it two stars because the medical information is useful and correct. That being said, there is error after error in the math in this book. A high schooler could have written it better. I am literally finding an error on every page now that I've hit the third assignment I was given. Unless you absolutely are required to have this book don't waste your money. If you are required I would double check your answers before assuming that the book is correct and you are not.
I was sent the wrong text book. I ordered this Dosage Calculation book and recieved a First Aid book. I have contacted the seller and I have not recieved a reply. Very unprofessional and now I have to stress about getting my book in time for classes. Over all not happy with the service.
This book we used for class it was okay some parts I liked how they expalined it and others parts got confusing.. still passed the class so its okay
I love this book! I breaks down everything in its simplest form to help students understand the dynamics behind drug calculations.
i had to get this book only because this is what the teacher for my class was using. There are a lot of mistakes in this book
I needed this book for a nursing class and found it to be in awesome shape as well getting to me on time!
