Читать книгу Calculation Skills for Nurses - Claire Boyd - Страница 6

This book is the second edition and continues to be designed to assist ALL student healthcare workers in the field of calculations. It has also proved helpful for qualified healthcare professionals needing a little more practice and confidence. All exercises are related to practice and the healthcare environment. Chapter 1 incorporates a pre‐assessment quiz to identify any areas needing to be revisited. Chapters 2 and 3 take the reader through the maths basics. The book then goes through the ‘bread and butter’ of everyday calculations used on a daily basis in health care.

The book incorporates many activities to check understanding, and is laid out in a simple to follow step‐by‐step approach. It ends with Knowledge tests that relate everything the reader has learned, to practice situations. The book also incorporates an example of Employment Services calculations test papers, as newly‐qualified students and new healthcare employees are often asked to complete a calculations test when being interviewed for a job. All answers can be located at the back of the book.

The aim of this book is to start the individual on a journey through many healthcare‐related exercises in order to build confidence and competence. It has been compiled using quotes and tips from student nurses themselves; it is a book by students for students.
