This text will help students to handle numbers confidently in the administration of drugs and other practice settings. Clinical examples will be used to illustrate the use of arithmetic and the student will be able to work at their own pace throughout. In addition to drug calculations, the text will allow students to feel confident in other practice settings such as: calculating the body mass index (BMI) of a patient, reading and interpreting a blood result back from the lab, interpreting demographic data, calculating the nutritional intake for a patient, and measuring a patient's blood pressure, pulse, and temperature.Shihab draws on her 25 years of teaching experience to provide a text devoted specifically to competency in the often-dreaded area of maths for student nurses. - THES, Feb 2010 MyMathLab is really good. I especially like the common clinical measurements and physiological measurement questions because I can really relate them to practice. I even take the book to practice with me because it is such an easy read for me as I have never worked in healthcare before. I feel like I have learnt a lot from the book.-Wayne Fleming, Nursing Student, Manchester Metropolitan University
