  A working grasp of numeracy and basic mathematical skills is vital in modern nursing. Many student nurses have only a limited knowledge of the subject and struggle to get to get to grips with the key principles and calculations they need to know.
  
  Numeracy and Clinical Calculations for Nurses is a user-friendly introduction to the subject which guides the reader from the basics through to the core calculations required in a healthcare setting.

  Using extensive worked examples the author links the abstract mathematics to real-world situations to help the reader understand the subject in the context of their nursing practice.

  Rather than simply training by rote, the book features `Sense Checks', `Top Tips' and `Error Alerts' to encourage the reader to develop their overall numeracy skills, and thus minimise the possibility of future errors.
