Written in plain English without unnecessary jargon, this text prepares students in health care disciplines to calculate correct doses of medications. Problems range from those using basic mathematics to those requiring sophisticated calculations of acid-base balance and logarithms. Most problems represent doses of actual medications. Learning features include chapter objectives, key terms, review problems in worksheet format, answers, and a glossary. Humorous original b&w cartoons are also included, along with a few b&w photos and illustrations. Information on the author is not given. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
