    • Traditional research on nursing student dosage calculation focuses on mathematical ability.
    • A gap exists in understanding the multifaceted nature of dosage calculation errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze nursing students' dosage calculation errors from conceptual, mathematical, and measurement perspectives.
    • To provide a more holistic understanding of errors in medication dosage calculations.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of dosage calculation errors made by nursing students.
    • Categorization of errors based on conceptual, mathematical, and measurement frameworks.

    Main Results:

    • Identified specific types of errors within conceptual, mathematical, and measurement domains.
    • Highlighted that errors extend beyond simple computational mistakes.

    Conclusions:

    • Dosage calculation proficiency in nursing requires addressing conceptual and measurement understanding, not just mathematical skills.
    • Interventions should target all three perspectives for effective improvement.
