This is a student supplement associated with: Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, 10/e June L. Olsen Emeritus, RN, MS, College of Staten Island (HEPM ID: 335442) Anthony P. Giangrasso Ph.D., La Guardia Community College (HEPM ID: 416420) Dolores Shrimpton ISBN: 013215661X

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. DRUG DOSAGE CALCULATIONS: A MULTI-METHOD APPROACH introduces all three of today’s leading methods of dosage calculation: Dimensional Analysis, Ratio & Proportion, and Formula. It walks step-by-step through solving dosage problems utilizing all three methods, often comparing multiple approaches to solving the same problem side-by-side. Instructors can choose their preferred method, and students can become expert with all three, ultimately choosing the approach they find most efficient. Unit I offers a diagnostic arithmetic test, reviews basic math skills, presents essentials of medication administration, and offers an easy, common sense introduction to dimensional analysis. Next, the text introduces essential metric and household medication systems and conversions. Then, building on these foundations, the text offers in-depth coverage of calculating oral, parenteral, intravenous, and enteral dosages, including flow rates, titrating IV medications, pediatric dosages, and daily fluid maintenance.

For courses in medical dosage calculation in departments of nursing, pharmacy, pre-med, pre-dental, and other health disciplines; and for courses covering dosage calculation in other programs, such as pharmacology, pediatrics and critical care. The complete and user-friendly guide to safe drug dosage calculation Fully revised for current practices and medication, Medical Dosage Calculations remains the field’s most complete, user-friendly and accessible drug calculation text and workbook. Using the dimensional analysis format it pioneered, students begin with simple arithmetic, progressing to the most complex drug calculations. As they develop mathematical skills for accurate dosage calculations, they also gain a thorough professional understanding of safe drug administration. Compared with competitors, our text contains deeper, more realistic problems, incorporating actual dosages and requiring real critical thinking.

Effectively learning pharmacology requires students to clearly see the connection between pharmacology, disease and patient care. Pharmacology for Nurses, 3e i(this is the standalone book) is structured to present pharmacology and pathology together, so students can more easily grasp the interrelationship between these subjects and provide a holistic perspective to patient care. A prototype approach, easy to follow presentation and extensive pedagogical aids enable students to understand key concepts and apply essential components of nursing care to drug therapy.

Helping undergraduate students evolve into nursing professionals prepared to meet the demands of their vocation, Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing equips students with a broad and solid foundation. The third Canadian edition addresses the key concepts that nurses must know to practice knowledgeably, accurately, legally, ethically, and with sensitivity and compassion in the dynamic Canadian health care system. Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing focuses on 3 important tenets: process, such as critical thinking, clinical reasoning, decision making; concepts like health promotion, disease prevention, and caring; and skills, such as health assessment, hygiene, and safety. Additionally, the textbook highlights basic nursing care across the lifespan in a variety of settings. Written in clear and accessible language, beginning nurses learn about best practices with real-world applications from the experts. Representing a pan-Canadian experience, the lead editors enlisted two authors, each from different provinces to reflect different geographical experiences, for many chapters. Special features facilitate learning and highlight the 5 major themes that form the framework for this edition–Primary Health Care, Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, Nursing Process, and Lifespan Considerations.
