DESCRIZIONE

This abbreviated rendition of Craig's Clinical Calculations Made Easy is designed to provide rules and examples of calculations for LPN-LVN and RN students who use dimensional analysis to calculate and prepare dosages for administration by mouth (PO), and by subcutaneous (SQ), intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) injections. As a supplement or separate quick reference, this two-color pocket guide will help students reduce anxiety related to medical calculation and eliminate medication errors. This text includes images of the medication cup used for oral administration and images of the different types of syringes, including insulin (lo-dose and regular), tuberculin, and 3-cc syringes, as well as the five steps of Dimensional Analysis and the Unit Path from the textbook.Table Of Contents CHAPTER 1Arithmetic Review . . . 1CHAPTER 2Systems of Measurement and Common Equivalents . . . 13CHAPTER 3Solving Problems Using Dimensional Analysis . . . 23CHAPTER 4One-Factor Medication Problems . . . 33CHAPTER 5Two-Factor Medication Problems . . . 69CHAPTER 6Three-Factor Medication Problems . . . 95CHAPTER 7Practicing Problems with Dimensional Analysis . . . 109Answer Key for Practice Exercises . . . 115APPENDIX AAbbreviations Used in Clinical Calculations . . . 147APPENDIX BGuidelines for Selecting Needles . . . 149APPENDIX CGuidelines for Injections . . . 150APPENDIX DLaboratory Values and Signs and Symptoms of Electrolyte Imbalances . . . 161APPENDIX ESigns and Symptoms of Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia . . . 163APPENDIX FLaboratory Values and Signs and Symptoms of Acid-Base Imbalances . . . 165APPENDIX GInsulin Table: Onset, Peak, and Duration . . . 167APPENDIX HBlood Administration: Complications With Signs and Symptoms and Treatment . . . 168APPENDIX IFrequently Used Drugs With Corresponding Laboratory Values . . . 170APPENDIX JDEA Schedules of Controlled Substances . . . 172APPENDIX KQuick Reference Dietary Guidelines . . . 174APPENDIX LAntidotes for Selected Drugs . . . 177APPENDIX MIV Complications . . . 178APPENDIX NIV Solutions (Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic) . . . 179APPENDIX OQuick Reference Head-to-Toe Assessment . . . 180Index . . . 183
