For courses in Dosage Calculation and use across the Nursing curriculum.
This package includes MyLab Nursing for Dosage Calculations.

Basic dosage calculation and administration for nurses
Dosage Calculations: A Multi-Method Approach helps students develop the dosage calculation skills they need to administer medications safely and accurately in clinical settings. Using plain language, problem examples, and practice opportunities, the text aims to reduce the anxiety many nursing students express about math. It covers three dosage calculation methods--dimensional analysis, ratio and proportion, and formula. Illustrated examples walk students through dosage problems step by step, using all three methods and often comparing approaches side by side. The content progresses from simple math topics to complex applications for calculating and administering a range of medications.

The updated 2nd edition delivers the most up-to-date standards for dosage calculation. It draws on safety recommendations of the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals, the Institute for Safe Medical Practice, and the CDC's One and Only Campaign.

Anthony began his teaching career as a fifth-grade teacher in Manhattan, as a member of the Christian Brothers of Ireland, and taught high school mathematics and physics in Harlem and Newark, New Jersey. He holds an MS and PhD from New York University and has taught at all levels, from elementary through graduate school. He is currently teaching at Adelphi University and LaGuardia Community College, where he was chairman of the mathematics department. He has authored nine college textbooks through twenty-six editions.

Anthony's community service has included membership on the boards of directors of the Polish-American Museum Foundation, Catholic Adoptive Parents Association, and Family Focus Adoptive Services. He was the founding Chairman of the Board of the Italian-American Legal Defense and Higher Education Fund, Inc., and the president of the Italian-American Faculty Association of the City University of New York--in the latter capacity he signed the first discrimination complaint filed with the United States Department of Labor in which Italian-Americans were recognized as a "class." This class-action complaint eventually resulted in the threat of twenty separate lawsuits by the U.S. Department of Labor individually against each of the branches of CUNY. The complaint was later dropped as part of a settlement of a separate suit in which CUNY was forced to defend itself in federal court before Judge Constance Baker Motley, where Anthony was the first witness. As part of the ensuing settlement of that case, CUNY was ordered to pay all legal fees and correct some past injustices.

He and his wife, Susan, are proud parents of Anthony, Michael, and Jennifer--and grandparents of Calvin, Jackson, Isabel, and Emilia. He enjoys tennis and twice has been ranked #1 for his age group in the Eastern Section by the United States Tennis Association.
