This book is easy to understand and teaches the topic very well. It's not difficult subject matter, and the book is very straight forward.

I am a junior level BSN nursing student and found this book to be very explanatory and easy to comprehend. The CD is also very helpful for practicing one and two step calculations. I highly recommend this book to other nursing students who are learning medication calculations!

This is indispensible for any nurses, vet techs, or aides. The emphasis on metric-standard conversions is very good. The exercises are excellent and should be completed to fully understand the concepts.

This book is a good book for those who want to learn drug dosage and do not have a strong background in Math. It has a comprehensive step-by-step review for the math that is needed to master the material. As someone whose weakness is math, I found the book to be an easy read and walked a way with a weath of knowledge...

As a nursing student, this book has always been a good reference when I had difficulties in calculating dosages or drug related calculations. I used this book and got an A in my Pharmacotherapeutics class. I highly recommend it!!!

the book was very easy to follow and had plenty of examples and practice problems. there were a few typos, but that's usually expected with any academic book. otherwise it was very helpful and useful.

This book was much cheeper than the school book store and it was the exact same thing. It came in a very short time from ordering which is very important for a student! Thanks Amazon!

Purchased for college course. Book content and disk are both good. Math excercises on disk make learning/review very quick (e.g. decimal fractions - study + testing/mastery in an hour or so). Book itself however (paperback) had defective binding cover came unglued on 2nd day, but pages stayed intact. I plan to reglue myself.Dimensional Analysis for Meds

I love the CD-ROM that came with this book. It makes the whole dimensional analysis process easy to learn and understand. After the first few lessons, I understand how to calculate a dose and an IV infusion rate and I haven't even read much of the text. Maybe it's just how I learn, but I find the CD-ROM alone to be worth the price of the book. If you have insecurities about math, this is the way to go.

I agree that one would reckon that 3 editions and in charging almost $80 for a text that is less than half an inch thick, Thompson could competently execute simple math operations. Next time, I will just run copies of a text for my partner and I, rather than pay for such a confounded and exploitative text.

I found at least 5 errors in this book and i'm only on chapter 10. Its full of simple addition errors. It gives some answers by accident right next to the question. You would think by the 3rd edition they would have some of these corrected.
