Designed specifically for pharmacy technicians, the book includes a review of basic math, conversions between measurement systems, interpretation of drug labels and physicians orders, and calculation of medications based on a patients age, body weight, or body surface area. Two basic methods of calculating drug dosages are described:: ratio/proportion and dimensional analysis. Simplifying calculation concepts, Elaine Beale’s worktext breaks down calculations, provides examples, and contains hundreds of practice problems to help you develop calculation confidence and prepare for a successful career as a pharmacy technician.
