“I love math!” “I hate math!” Whether you’re a math aficionado or someone who cringes at calculations, Paramedic: Calculations for Medication Administration will make you a master of paramedic math.
This textbook teaches the
basic principles of mathematics and applies these principles to cases
that paramedics face on the job. Chapters cover math rules and
principles; fractions, decimals, and percentages; ratios, proportions,
and conversion factors; and rate-dependent and weight-based
calculations.
Practice problems are
scattered throughout the chapters; students practice as they go. Every
chapter highlights how paramedics can make use of the math knowledge
that they already have in order to solve more complicated problems.
Chapters begin with the simple and obvious, and progress to the level
used in the field.
Practice makes perfect—this
text has over 700 practice problems! In addition to the in-chapter
practice, chapters conclude with more problems. Complete answers to
every problem, including explanations, are provided in the answer key.
Every step is included, making it easy to follow how an answer was
reached.
