As a Pharmacy Technician, there are certain math skills that you need to have, that's where this book comes in.
This book is broken up into 5 sections which include:
1) Introduction and Basic Math Skills
2) Measurements Used in Health Care Conversions among Measurement Systems
3) Medication and Prescription Orders and their Calculations
4) Special Medication Calculations
5) Business Math
So what's in the chapters and how are they organized?
The chapters are organized like this: Pretest, Lessons, Post Test.
This is pretty unique because you can size yourself up before you start learning the materials to gauge where you are with that particular chapter and then you can see how you preform after you've gone through the material. The book does do a good job showing step by step on how to solve a problem before the practice problems. I recommend taking notes as they will help immensely.
The book does have word problems and specific problems that relate directly with pharmacy problems that you might encounter in a pharmacy setting.
The types of math that you will review are:
Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Roman Numerals, Temperatures (Converting C to F), Measurement Systems (Household, Apothecary, Metric), Interpreting Medication Labels and Orders, Calculations of Oral Does and Dosages, Reconstitutions, Medications based on Body Weight and Age, Calculations in Unites milliequivalents, IV Medications, Mixtures from Stock Medications, Business Math (Stock Prices, Gross Profit, etc).
If you're trying to learn the material to take your PTCB or ExCPT exam, this book will definitely help you learn the stuff you need to know.
