PCT I & O test questions??

I have an interview for a pediatric PCT and I have to take and I & O calculations test. Does anyone have any idea what kind of questions they might ask? I have never worked in peds and I have no idea. Thanks.

I cant imagine it being more than simple arithmetic. Measuring output on an infant might mean you have to weigh an empty diaper, then weigh the soiled diaper and subtract to get the difference. It might help to know how to convert lbs to kilograms and how many ounces are in a lb. Also being able to look at a cup and estimate how many cc's of fluid are in it, or how much is missing from a full cup.

I have very little experience working with peds so this is just an educated guess.

Just remember 30cc to an ounce and you should do fine.
