Makes medical math easy to understand. “Wow this book has been a lifesaver throughout nursing school for dummies like me who aren’t so great at math. This book did a great job in breaking things down and explaining. ...also this book isn’t just the math portion in regards to drugs. It teaches you about the basic things about the drugs, drug information, safety, how to read the labels, etc. Goes beyond just the math calculations most dosage calc books have.” —IT, Online Reviewer
