This package includes a physical copy of Numeracy in Nursing and Healthcare: Calculations and Practice, 2/e by Shihab as well as access to the eText and MyMathLab Global.

The text starts out with basic adding and subtracting and works up to more advanced principles like SI units, drug administration and common clinical measurements. The online personalised study plan helps to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses and provides further interactive practice. By illustrating how mathematical theory is relevant to clinical practice, Numeracy in Nursing and Healthcare is a great tool to help increase students' confidence and excel in their studies and career.

MyMathLab Global is a powerful online homework, revision and assessment tool designed to help students practice and improve their understanding of mathematics and to give their instructors feedback on their performance.

To date, more than 5 million students at 1,850 institutions have used MyMathLab, and in 2008 alone, over 50 million assignments were submitted. 

Specific features

For students

• Personalised Study Plan, generated when students complete a test or quiz, indicates which topics have been mastered and links to tutorial exercises for topics students have not mastered. Instructors can customise the available topics in the Study Plan to match their course topics.

If you prefer, you can create your own online homework, quizzes, and tests that are automatically graded. Select just the right mix of questions from the online exercise bank, instructor-created custom exercises, and testbank items.
• Gradebook, designed specifically for mathematics, automatically tracks students' results, lets you stay on top of student performance, and gives you control over how to calculate final marks. You can also add offline (paper-and-pencil) marks to the gradebook.
