Textbook for Nursing Refresher Course 10543153. "Safety is a priority in the delivery of health care. To advance client safety and its importance in health care delivery worldwide, several organizations are involved in reinforcing the promotion of client safety in health care, which includes emphasis on improving safety in medication administration. These organizations include the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), and The Joint Commission (TJC). The seventh edition of Calculate with Confidence not only teaches the aspects of dosage calculation; it also emphasizes the importance of safety in medical administration. Calculate with Confidence is written to meet the needs of nursing students as well as nurses returning to the workforce after being away from the clinical setting. It is also suitable for courses within nursing curricula whose content reflects the calculation of dosages and solutions. The text can generally be used as a reference by any health care professional whose responsibilities include safe administration of medications and solutions to clients in diverse clinical settings. The text presents three methods of dosage calculation--dimensional analysis, formula method, and ratio and proportion. Each method is illustrated, empowering students to choose the method that suits their learning style and works for them. It also enables the instructor to teach a preferred method or multiple methods to students. The new edition responds to changes in the health care field and includes the introduction of new medications, discussion of new methods for medication administration, and an emphasis on clinical reasoning in prevention of medication errors."--adapted from Preface to the Instructor, page v.
