The book divided 5 part. Part 1 and 2 used for present skills. For those students who are comportable with the basic mathematics, a quick assessment for each area will confirm their competency in the subject matter. Part 2 begins with the use of the metric system, which is predominant in the medical field; the apothecary system continues to decline in use. Part 3 helps students prepare for the actual calculation of drug dosages. Chapter 9 is a new chapter that discusses various points concerning patient safety as it relates to medication administration. This chapter also includes safety issues for the nurse in the dispensing of medications. The case scenarios really emphasize the importance of delivering the correct medication to the patient as ordered. Chapter 10 provides an emphasis on the interpretation of the physician's orders, and chapter 11 expalins how to read drug labels. This ection ends with chapter 12, in which dimensional analysis as a method to calculate drug dosages is introduced. In part 4, chapters 13 to 15 introduce the proportion and alternative formula methods for the calculation of drug dosage problems. The actual drug labels have been updated and increased in number in all of the chapters dealing with the calculation of drug dosages. Also, content realted to dosages measured in units has been expanded. Because of the continued increased use of 4 fluids in health care, chapter 16, intravenous flow rates, has again been expanded, as has chapter 17, critical care intravenous flow rates. Chapter 18, pediatric dosages, has been expanded and now includes pediatric 4 flow rate problems as well. Part 5 includes content concerning automated medication-dispensing systems. Chapter 20, on special considerations for the elderly, has been enhanced, as has chapter 21, which discusses home care considerations.
