Learn the most common methods of drug calculation, and use the one that is right for you! Clinical Calculations: With Applications to General and Specialty Areas, 10th Edition helps you learn to calculate drug dosages accurately. It covers the four major drug calculation methods — basic formula, ratio and proportion, fractional equation, and dimensional analysis — plus body weight and body surface area. It also includes practice problems not only for general care but also for specialty areas such as pediatrics and critical care. Written by a team of experts, this market-leading text shows how drug calculation and drug administration are related and emphasizes patient safety above all else.
