Pharmacy Technician Certified Board Comprehensive Pharmacy Math

Beschreibung

The Ultimate Pharmacy Math Book is primarily designed to assist students to reinforce and strengthen their skills in pharmacy math in order to pass the nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician Board exam, but this may also serve as an excellent refresher guide for new or experience pharmacists. Comprised of sixteen, short chapters, covering all different areas of pharmacy math, this textbook provides instruction and information for all the possible pharmacy math questions found on the Certified Pharmacy Technician Board exam. The material in this textbook provides a comprehensive review that instructs and covers all aspects of pharmaceutical related mathematical calculations and formulas, such as the conversion of medications from adult to children's dosages, understanding and utilizing the alligation method to determine ratio and percentage strength for prescriptions, determining the IV flow rate calculations for solutions administered over a period of time, and appropriate temperature conversion for both Fahrenheit and Celsius. In addition to the more direct aspects, this comprehensive guide also includes other practical pharmacy related information such as how to recognize a valid DEA number and calculate a health care provider's DEA check digit, or calculating the percentage for markup when selling a prescription drug and monitoring profit for a pharmacy business. To supplement their study opportunity, students buying this textbook should also plan on attending the corresponding Certified Pharmacy Technician Board preparation classes sponsored by the author (see class schedules through our web site at www.ptcbprep.com). In these classes, our certified instructor(s) will thoroughly review all material in this textbook, as well as providing one-on-one interaction and answering any questions.
