The table of contents has been reorganized to create a more logical flow for learning. A new chapter on Critical Care IV Flow Rates has been added to address medication administration to critically ill patients. This new edition also includes more practice problems on calculations for pediatric patients. Important features such as worksheets, posttests, and the comprehensive posttest have all been retained. The full-color drug labels continue to provide a more realistic representation of medication administration.
