All nurses must be able to calculate and check drug dosages quickly and accurately, therefore they need the basic skills of arithmetic. This is a short guide to basic arithmetic for nurses, put in the context of drug calculations. It begins with a diagnostic test so readers can review their knowledge of arithmetic and identify their weakpoints. Then it moves onto the arithmetic of nursing, particularly the arithmetic of pharmacology. Throughout there are examples and graded exercises (with answers at the back).
