Product Description
Designed specifically for pharmacy technicians, using the competencies developed by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), this comprehensive worktext covers everything from basic math skills to reading and interpreting labels and physicians’ orders. The unique worktext format introduces readers to key calculation and conversion concepts and then provides a wealth of self-tests and practice problems — more than any other calculations book for pharmacy technicians— so readers can immediately apply what they are learning to realistic and challenging calculation problems. Other key concepts include conversions between the various measurement systems, reconstituting liquid medications, and calculating medications for special populations. * Each chapter begins with definitions of key words and a comprehensive list of objectives to help readers accomplish learning goals. * Chapter-by-chapter pretests allow readers to assess their current knowledge of specific topics. * More than 1,300 practice problems throughout the book provide a wealth of practice with calculations, conversions, and measurements. * Step-by-step examples and problems accompanied by actual full-color drug labels give readers real-world experience with the labeling they will see in pharmacy practice. * Body system icons appear next to medication names to help readers begin to associate different drugs with their respective disorders and body systems. * Learning Tips boxes offer helpful strategies for learning and remembering information. * Points to Remember boxes and review sections summarize key chapter concepts to help readers focus on vital information.

Good Content , 2007-07-19
I purchased this book to practice for the Certification test. I am very pleased with the content. It has given me a lot more confidence as far as the math end of things. I have noticed quite a few answers in the book that have been wrong. They could be typing errors. I have had a couple different pharmacists check over the problems and verify the answers that are in the book are not correct. This makes it more difficult to learn the content on my own when I depend on the answers to tell me if I did the problem right. Overall, I'm glad I purchased the book.

Great Practice for the PTCB Exam, 2007-01-09
If you want a lot of math practice before you take the PTCB exam, this is the book to have. It goes into every type of calculation that you will come across on the exam. There are so many practice problems that by the time you work through the whole worktext you should have the confidence needed to tackle just about any problem they throw at you.
