So to be safe on my dosage calculations exam I should just round to the next number. For example 19.6 I should put 20 mL/hour on the IV pump what if I have an answer like 19.4 would I put 19??

Does anybody have any good ways to study for ATI exams???? Thanks

In this problem why would you drop the 4 ? Esmolol 1.5g in 250 mL D5W has been ordered at a rate of 100 mcg/kg/min for a client weighing 102.4 kg. What rate will you set on the IV pump? ______________________mL/hr I got 102.4 but the right answer is 102 why would you dropt the 4?

One more question I have pertaining to dosage calculations LOL and then I will leave you alone:-) I am not understanding this problem Physcian Order: Gentamicin 200mg IVPB every 6 hours On hand: 200 mg in 100 mL D5W to be administered over 30 min. Thanks again you have been such a great help:-)!

Thanks that helps a lot:-)

Can someone please help here is an example Physician Order: Ensure 3/4 strength at 75 mL/hr per gastrostomy tube.
