Riassunto

Getting medicines calculations right is often a matter of life and death. Nursing students must pass calculations tests, both at interview stage and throughout their pre-registration course, to ensure safe practice. This book helps new nursing students succeed first time in medicines calculations tests. It takes the fear out of maths, even for those who find it a struggle, through clear step-by-step explanations and lively examples.

Recensione:

I found the linking of each chapter to the NMC Standards and Essential Skills Clusters extremely useful. The diagnostic assessment in the first chapter should help the student identify their areas for growth, and also help them to get to terms with the structure of the questioning. The book is extremely well developed and takes the reader systematically through numeracy, specifically related to nursing need. The working out of the problems is very clearly illustrated and logical in development. --Lecturer, University of Nottongham

Passing Calculations Tests for Student Nurses is an excellent text, which starts off with the basics and relates the calculations directly back to practice situations, which makes the mathematics meaningful. The website links are also excellent, as it gives the reader more scope to facilitate their learning and understanding. --Lecturer, Glyndwr University

Good broad exposure to fundamental mathematical applications. Application to practice examples very welcome. ESC valuable references integrated. Nicely priced to be available to students. --Lecturer, Canterbury Christ Church University
