Well the 0.5 is only part of coming to the .45%....0.9% also has to be considered which is where the .45% comes from....multiplying the two values 0.5 X 0.9= .45%............And the way they tell you...
Also on this site http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/analysis.htm#guide it says that you must first take a % and make it into a workable math term ie; such as a decimal which is what I was trying to...
Beth, I am not trying to put the percent into the problem or to be contrary...the way it is written on www.dosagehelp.com is what I posted previously, that 0.9% is the amount in NS..I copied that from...
Maybe like this? I am assuming that the .9 is grams of NaCl being added to the 1/2 (.5) NS to make up the 100% that is the solution. 700ml .9 g. x .5 NS = 315 ------- X ---------...
Okay......I ended up coming up with the same answer using DA (a short cut version since I am not sure how to put the changing of the % to DA that came up with the .45 that was mentioned above) So...
beth, I am thinking that since they are looking for the NaCl in that question they are looking for grams to determine how much dry/powdered NaCl went into the Normal Saline to reconstitute it...so...
Thank you again, that does seems to make it a bit more clear...At least now I can tell where the half is being subtracted from :)..and on that site they have the answers in that section all set up to...
beth, Thank you for trying:nurse:......according to http://www.dosagehelp.com NS is 0.9%..............(from their site- NS: Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl) ) I do know that the answer (again, according to...
Hi I just wanted to ask you all who probably know how this particular problem would be set up using the DA method. I have been using http://www.dosagehelp.com for practice problems and can't seem to...
Hi I am new here, just joined last week, but I've been lurking for quite awhile and love these boards. This past week I FINALLY got my acceptance in to the LPN program that I was hoping for, I begin...
