Review :
'This is a complete and comprehensive guide to all possible calculations required for safe medication management. It is very well laid out, presented succinctly and the tests and activities are very helpful in allowing students to access their knowledge and understanding' - Lecturer, Dublin City University 'The book is well set-out and clearly signposted so that student nurses can complete the diagnostic test and then study the chapters relevant to their individual skills needs. The case studies, scenarios and activities in each chapter give examples of each calculation and provide sufficient opportunities for skills practice. Additional information at the end of each chapter provides details of online guides and revision resources for the reader. In my opinion, this is useful for all pre-registration nursing students: for those who are unsure about their mathematical skills as well as those who are more confident' - Lecturer, Glyndwr University 'This book is really easy to read and understand. It provides excellent advice and direction for students and I have given it to students for their feedback. Feedback was really positive and they found the book very easy to use' - Lecturer, Northumbria University 'A must for all' - Lecturer, De Montfort University We have used this text within the skills modules in years 1-3. Students particularly appreciate the examples and practice calculations. -- Caroline E Gibson 20131003
