Math for Health Care Professionals

About this book

Math for Health Care Professionals is a comprehensive foundational resource that is equally effective in the classroom or for self-study. It assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or health care but merges the two topics into the capstone of a complete learning package including a student workbook. While the fundamentals of mathematics are a foundation to this book their application to health care is emphasized. Drug dosages intake and output weights and measures temperatures IV drip rates and conversions are a focus and illustrations of syringes prescriptions medication labels IV bags and I and O charts allow the reader to practice real-life health care skills requiring mathematics.
