Overview
Henke's Med-Math: Dosage Calculation, Preparation & Administration (10th Edition) by Susan Buchholz is a long-trusted dosage-calculation text in nursing programs, built to teach the math and the safe-administration habits behind giving medications correctly. This study guide follows it chapter by chapter, in the same order it is taught, focusing on the high-yield calculation skills that dosage-calc competency exams demand. You get the arithmetic needed for dosage; metric and household measurement; drug labels and packaging; oral medications in solids and liquids; liquids for injection; basic IV drip rates; special IV calculations; dosage problems for infants and children; and the principles of administering drugs. It is an independent, aligned study guide, not the textbook or a copy of it. Because Henke's supports multiple calculation methods, this guide drills the setups and unit-tracking that get you to the right answer reliably. Use it to build speed and accuracy for the dosage-calc exam many programs require you to pass.
Aligned with nursing dosage-calculation courses; the review drills the calculation setups tested on the required dosage-calculation competency exams many programs administer.
