By

Nicola Green, RVN, Lecturer in Veterinary Nursing and Internal Verifier, Northumbria School of Veterinary Nursing, Newcastle College, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
Description
This new edition continues to explain common mathematical principles in veterinary terms. With the introduction of the Evolve platform,
both student and qualified nurses or technicians benefit from an interactive site where they can test their knowledge with interactive
questions and quizzes; while instructors can create their own quizzes and tasks to use as aids in their teaching. Drawing upon his extensive
experience, Terry Lake also provides a method of conversion that simplifies equations and removes the necessity of memorizing formulae.
Terry Lake is also joined in this second edition by Nicola Green, an experienced instructor in dosage calculations who has devised the
Evolve component. The text uses a commonsense approach to clinical situations faced by every student and qualified practitioner, highlighting
common errors and providing tips for avoiding potential pitfalls. This extremely useful text takes the student from the secure ground
of decimals and percentages, through to the uncharted terrain of statistics and dimensional analysis – all in an easily accessible and
user-friendly style.
