Focuses on teaching nursing mathematics for accurate medication dosage calculation, emphasizing the dimensional analysis method to reduce errors associated with "math anxiety" and incorrect problem setup. The content includes foundational topics such as a review of arithmetic (fractions, decimals, Roman numerals), systems of measurement (metric, apothecaries', and household), and conversion equivalents for weight, volume, and temperature. Later chapters progress from one-factor to three-factor medication problems, integrating complex concepts like pediatric dosage based on weight, medication reconstitution, and calculating intravenous (IV) pump settings (mL/hr) or gravity flow rates (gtt/min).
