OB Math

Published

Does anyone know of a good reference or site that has practice questions for OB meds? Our instructor gave us a practice sheet with 20 problems, but we need more problems than that to REALLY practice. We get the concept of how to work the dosages and drips but since we have to make above 90% on the test, there is barely room for error. We have the math test in 3 weeks. Anything would be greatly appreciated.:tku: in advance.

Oh, and just to assure all that I looked through all the threads even the math sticky before posting this. Most of the links are no longer any good. Even if its just the practice sheet that you were given at your school. I will share mine too. Once again thanks to anyone who can help.

This is the practice sheet minus the labels because they did not copy. Sorry

Copy and paste for your needs if you like.

Let me know how to add an attachment so that you can have the whole document. I tried attaching the file from my documents and it says it failed.
