Description:
Medical Math for Health Professionals is a comprehensive resource that is equally effective in the classroom or for self-study. It is foundational and assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or health care but merges the two topics into the capstone of a complete learning package that includes a student workbook, instructor manual, and quick review manual. Designed with clearly defined objectives that allows the user to select the competencies that the class or individual needs, each objective is clearly stated then explained within the text and accompanied by a significant number of practice problems. Critical thinking skills, rather than rote memorization of formulas, are emphasized. . Drug dosages, intake and output, weights and measures, temperatures, IV drip rates, and conversions are emphasized and illustrations of syringes, prescriptions, medication labels, IV bags, and I and O charts allow the reader to practice real-life health care skills requiring mathematics.
