Overview

Written in easy-to-understand language and emphasizing practical calculations that pharmacists do every day, this revised and updated edition of Understanding Pharmacy Calculations guides student pharmacists through the sometimes overwhelming introduction to the subject. It also helps students appreciate the relevance of calculations to pharmacy practice. A valuable resource for calculations courses, this book can also be used by students as self-paced study and review in preparation for the national pharmacy licensure examination. KEY FEATURES: Structured five-lesson design permits classroom use or self-paced study and review for the national pharmacy licensure examination. Designed to develop proficiency in commonly encountered clinical calculations, incorporating clinical examples based on everyday practice. Includes practice problems and detailed answers throughout – nearly 200 in all, including a 100-question “Practice Practice Practice” section at the end of the book. Brings clarity to the often murky area of total parenteral nutrition calculations, aided by realistic problems with completed TPN worksheets. Written in a light-hearted, frequently humorous style to maintain student interest and put even “math-phobes” at ease.
