Synopsis

This new textbook shows how to accurately calculate medication dosages using dimensional analysis, also known as factor-labeling. This method allows students and professional nurses to calculate dosage, intravenous drip rates, patients daily fluid intakes/requirements and more, without having to memorize formulas. Emphasizing a step-by-step, how-to approach, the book introduces the dimensional analysis method before students begin using it and builds on the previous chapters information. Prevention methods for the common pitfalls associated with dimensional analysis are also presented. Numerous examples of dosage calculations using dimensional analysis with dosage calculations commonly prescribed medications and actual drug labels are provided.
