Each chapter begins with a pretest to determine the mastery level of the skills presented in that chapter. For each chapter, there are explanations with concrete examples, followed by practice problems. For every problem, step-by-step solutions help students see where their mistakes occurred and how to correct them. Four comprehensive tests assess mastery of basic math skills and math related to nursing-specific applications. A chapter test concludes each section. Test-taking tips help students learn how to apply their math knowledge better and reduce test-taking anxiety. A special color highlights the key terms in each skill section and explains how to work through problems.
