Grasp the vital skills needed to competently and confidently compute medication measures using Computation of Medication Measures. Crafted by Sheila J. Ogden, MSN, RN and Linda Fluharty, RNC, MSN, this recent 9th Edition provides you with an elaborate assessment of pivotal math concepts prior to introducing and lucidly explaining the ratio and proportion, technique, and dimensional analysis approaches of medication computation. The book’s typical “worktext” layout advances on concepts progressively and solidifies what you grasp with over 1,800 practice problems.

• Identify your strengths and weaknesses using a detailed math appraisal, covering the fundamental math skills imperative for accurate computation of medication amounts.
• Employ chapter worksheets to engage in solving realistic problems.
• Evaluate your comprehension of chapter content by employing post-assessments at the conclusion of each chapter.
• Retain content more easily and expand on your prior knowledge through a logical arrangement.
• Obtain additional practice and precisely assess your overall understanding with a comprehensive post-evaluation at the end of the book.
• Stay focused with learning objectives that clarify what you should achieve upon finishing each chapter.
• Familiarize yourself with the latest medications and technologies utilized in the market with modernized medication labels and equipment visuals.
• Study at your own pace with 25 flashcards, now on Evolve, containing abbreviations, formulas, and conversions from the book.
• Review your work and discern your errors with an extensive step-by-step answer key.

• Explore a recent chapter on obstetric dosages that provides you with practice problems using medications unique to this vital nursing subspecialty.
• Utilize alert containers that highlight information crucial to mathematical computation and patient safety.
• Stay updated with new content on Consumption and Output (I & O).
• Minimize medication errors and enhance patient safety through updated guidelines from The Joint Commission and Institute for Safe Medication Practices.
• Recognize the repercussions of medication accuracy with additional medication labels added to critical care practice problems.
