===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Drug Calculations For Nurses and Other Health Professionals V.5
===============================================================
About this package
==================
This package is written for health professionals and others
who must routinely do drug calculations. There are two
applications in this package:
1. Drug Calculations for Nurses
2. Teachers Tools
New in this edition
===================
A facility has been provided to keep a record of scores for
individuals or groups of users. Open the file 'dcfile.ini'
for further instructions on customising Drug Calculations
for Nurses to create test conditions or to track student
performance.
Drug Calculations for Nurses
----------------------------
This program generates drug calculation questions and
solutions and presents them to the user in the form of
a test. Users select from a menu of question types e.g.
1. Metric conversion
2. Tablet dosages
3. Fluid dosages
4. IV Flow rates
5. Setting an IV
6. Determining IV flow by counting drops
Additional tests can be created using the 'Teachers Tools'
package.
The tablet and fluid dosages are generated from a database
of drugs which include usual dose ranges.
The IV calculations use a graphical simulation of an IV
Burette to assist in visualising the flow rate.
A solution is generated which shows how the answer was
calculated.
Online help is available to the user by pressing "F1".
Teachers Tools
--------------
This is one program which consists of two applications:
1. Drug Database
Users may access, add, delete, change, or re-categorise the
drugs used for constructing questions. Information such
as generic and trade names, usual dose range, usual
increments, dose form and preparation may be entered.
2. Question Construction Set
This application allows users to generate an entire test
complete with help, instructions, description and solutions.
The test can be included in the Drug Calculations menu by
saving the file in the Drug Calculations directory and
'checking' an option. Alternatively the test may be saved
as a text file and accessed by a word processor. This
application was designed for use by teachers. The user may
generate questions using a question generator or they may
write their own.
