  • Instructions

    The 12th edition authors of Math for Meds built on the foundation that Anna Curren created. This edition begins with review of basic math concepts and basic systems of measurement relevant to dosage calculation and progresses to information related to preparing for safe medication administration (including chapters to help students understand the importance of careful attention to practices that encourage safety in medication preparation, calculation, and administration). The three common methods of dosage calculation (ratio and proportion, dimensional analysis, and formula method) are introduced in this section. In addition, WebAssign's course management includes algorithmic questioning, ability to customize questions, class insights, and an ask your teacher function to further engage students in dosage calculations.

    WebAssign provides a wide range of exercises that enable you to:
    • Let students review and reference question concepts (#1-10: Read It)
