Most medications are administered by nurses. Consequently it is nurses who are responsible for most of the errors made in drug administration. One source of mistakes is a lack of competence in drug dosage calculations.
To promote safe practice, nursing schools can test for poor basic arithmetic skills both at the interview stage and during the three years of nurse training. This book teaches the skills necessary for success in these tests. It also explains how to read the drug treatment sheets used in the administration of medicines. The mathematics knowledge required either at the interview stage or at nursing school does not exceed GCSE standard.
You need only the four arithmetic skills of addition (+), subtraction (–), multiplication (×) and division (÷) as applied to whole numbers, fractions and decimal numbers. Knowledge of drug administration is not required for interview-type questions. Tests for student nurses may include medical terms and abbreviations, many of which are obvious, although a few Latin ones need to be remembered. This book does not cover all of the ones you will come across in nursing, only those that you are likely to meet in maths exams. The book caters for most levels of mathematical ability, so it is suitable for mature students who have had little experience of numerical work since leaving school. Even candidates with very poor numerical skills should find it helpful.
