Overview

Dosage Calculations for Nursing StudentsMaster safe and simple dosage skills through real-world cases and practical exercises If you're a nursing student or a new nurse and ""nursing math"" makes you anxious, this is your hands-on playbook. Not abstract theory, but a pocket-ready, repeatable method that helps you calculate quickly-and, above all, safely-any dose, infusion, or dilution you'll face on the floor. Why this book is differentMost books drown you in formulas. Here you learn to think like a nurse, using error-proof clinical routines, real examples, and one consistent flow: order → anchors → calculation → verify → administration → documentation. In a few pages you'll lock in habits that reduce the most common mistakes (missing/extra zeros, wrong units, rounding that doesn't match the device).
