NSG math

[trilli18]

Hi,

ok had my NSG math exam today, which needed to get a 100 on so I can pass meds at clinical. Got a couple of questions though

1. if you give two 2tablets of a drug that is labled 0.02, what's the correct. I put 0.04

2. 0.03kg want to chang to gms?

so i did this 1kg = 1000gm

__________

0.03kg = X = 30gm

Just kinda panicing before I know my grade and just want to make sure I did these right if anyone could answer back id appreciate it. Thanks for your help

You need to get 100 to pass, wow. My school requires 79 and still 12 people did not pass after they were given a second chance.

I checked......both of your problems seem correct.

Heather. . .your answers are correct. Many employers are also having new hires take med calculation tests and requiring 90% or higher passing rates on them in order to remain employed. This math requirement does not go away.
