This book was easy to understand and contained clear practice problems. During my first semester of nursing school('07), the book helped to understand the different conversions, and I able to pass the drug calculation test. It also offers a laminated conversion sheet that was helpful during class and study sessions. It has three different units. The first unit contains basic math review, which can help any student to review important math problems that is basis for understanding drug calculations. The second unit goes into the different measurement systems, which is important for understanding drug administration. The third unit is the most important part of the book, which goes into drug calculations for oral, parenteral, IV, critical-care, solutions, and pediatic care. It is thorough book, and gives detailed instructions on how to solve a specific problem. It offers end of chapter reviews, and answer section to evaluate your work.
