Dosage calculation is an essential skill for students embarking on a career in nursing. This topic can be very challenging and intimidating for students, however, veteran author, Anna Curren breaks down this subject using the dimensional analysis method which reduces all calculations into a single, easy to solve equation. This takes the fear-factor out of the manual math altogether. May students have raved about how previous editions of this text got them through their medical math course. The Sixth Edition of Dimensional Analysis for Meds: Refocusing on Essential Metric Calculations has been streamlined to present only the essential information. The first chapter begins with an overview of the metric system as the author states, 98% of all calculations involve the metric measures. Further, the text is structured so that content is featured in small instructional steps followed by assessment to reinforce what has been learned making them easier to apply in practice. In an effort to prevent annual hospital drug dose errors, Curren includes the latest drug dosage abbreviations and metric notations giving nurses the knowledge they need to be current.
