Summary
The new, 3rd Edition of this popular dosage and solutions text now includes dimensional analysis -- along with the ratio and proportion and formula methods -- to encompass the most common methods used in clinical practice. An engaging 4-color design -- complete with over 200 full-color drug labels, syringes, and other illustrations -- simulates clinical practice.
