Organized to build skills sequentially, it uses clear writing, simple explanations, healthcare-specific examples, abundant practice exercises, and proven memory aids. It offers practical, health-centered coverage of pre-algebra, the metric system, reading drug labels, medicine cups, syringes, intravenous administration bags, parenteral dosages, basic intravenous administration, and basic dosage by weight units. Each unit provides a pre-test, concept review, instruction, examples, practice problems, critical-thinking questions, and a post-test.
