Mathematical Calculations: An Analytical Example of How Nurses Organize Their Knowledge
Author(s): Navaj Uddin*
Mathematics plays a crucial role in the field of healthcare, particularly in the domain of medication administration. For nurses, understanding
the principles of mathematics is not only essential for accurate dosage calculations but also serves as an analytical exemplar of the social
organization of their knowledge. The intricate relationship between mathematics and medication reflects the systematic nature of nursing practice
and highlights the importance of precision and attention to detail. When nurses administer medications, they are tasked with ensuring the right
dosage is given to each patient. This requires them to perform complex calculations involving ratios, proportions, and conversions. By applying
mathematical principles, nurses can accurately determine the appropriate dose based on factors such as a patient's weight, age, and medical
condition. Add.. Read More»
