Dosage calculations for nurses

Dorothy Ferguson Head of learning, teaching and quality, School of Health, Glasgow Caledonian University

DEALING WITH numbers can evoke anxiety in many of us and yet nurses are often required to calculate drug dosages. If, like me, you are not particularly confident in arithmetic, this textbook is for you. It offers a workbook starting with self-assessment, reviews basic skills, moves on to calculations in oral and parental medications and ends with infusions and paediatric doses.
