Very relevant for drug calculations in the care of the critically ill patient. I recommend the book as a companion for Anaesthesia/ICU residents and critical care nurses.
I like the bok a lot. The reason for adding the bok to the supplementary list and not the mandatory list is that the prescription terminology, especially the abbreviations used are very unfamiliar to our students but they still benefit from the logical explanations and work methods presented in the book.

This text provides useful practice calculations and I have recommended it for all students. With changes to the PSNI pre registration exam students are seeking additional questions to practice and I think this book is very useful.
