This book has been created for students wanting to take pharmacy registration assessment exams and become a licensed pharmacist. Calculations are often considered as the hardest part of any pharmacy orientated exam and are often the main reason for exam failure. For this reason, we have collected a team of highly-skilled, pharmacy professionals to compile and refine this book to ensure it presents what you really need to know.
In this book, we explore the wide range of questions which can be presented during exams such as the GPhC, Naplex, PEBC, FPGEE and many more... The book not only contains questions and learning resources but also a worksheet for you to practically apply the knowledge you have learnt.
The key sections in this book include:
The basics behind pharmacy calculations
Exponents and scientific calculations
Conversions
Medical abbreviations
Dosage
Concentration
Infusion
