Dosage Calculations

Dosage Calculations: A Multi-Method Approach, 2nd Edition, is a textbook designed to help nursing students calculate and administer medications safely in clinical settings. Intended for dosage calculation courses and use across the nursing curriculum, the volume focuses on essential calculation skills.

The instructional progression moves from basic mathematics to complex applications for calculating and administering medications. It teaches three dosage calculation methods: dimensional analysis, ratio and proportion, and formula.

To help reduce math anxiety among students, the book uses plain language, problem examples, and practice opportunities. Step-by-step illustrated examples walk readers through dosage problems, often comparing the three methods side by side.
