Basic math skills are important because many things associated with health care need to be measured and recorded. The most essential skills would be basic addition and subtraction. Then you would need some simple multiplication and division. You will also need to know how to tell time and know the relationship with seconds, minutes, and hours. These will help you do necessary things like measure pulse and blood pressure. Plus be able to administer medications in the correct amounts.
