Rounding and Dosage Calculations

Published

hi!

I am studying pediatric dosage calculations currently and I am using the Saunder's book. I was always taught that if the answer is less than 1 mL round to two decimal places. However, my answer came to 0.925 mL which I thought would be rounded to 0.93. Is this not correct-- Saunders just rounds it to 0.92. Is it different with children that you never round up?

Thanks a lot!

We were taught less than 1ml round to nearest hundredth, greater than 1ml round nearest tenth.
