Hello,

Where can I find practice problems with solutions to medication problems where you have to convert a person's weight from kg/lb and then find the ml/hr or gtts/min. I really don't understand how to work these problems and need as much help as I can get.


Thanks

Re: Math Calculations!!!!

Math for dummies at the book store is real helpful for most math calculations.

Re: Math Calculations!!!!

Read and do practice test on Saunders Comprehensive 4ed Chapter 17 ( Administration of Medications and IV solutions)..
Study the formula then do the chapter's practice questions over and over again til you get it right. Study and practice for 2- 3 full days and you'll be able to calculate just by using your calculator, NO PEN and papers..

and if that''s not enough....check this site..navigate the whole site.....
