They should not have used the broken beds either.

Math for Meds help!!! Can someone explain # 19, 20 and 29 from Ch 15?

And there's no point system here. You are accepted based on your GPA or your SAT or ACT scores. I don't see how someone could work even during the first semester.

Glad the weather sucks outside since we have so much homework to do.

Yeah, if you were planning on working, the first semester is when they tell you it's easiest, but we've been inundated with work from the first week, so I really don't see how it's feasible.

I would definitely try very hard to get Mr. Westmoreland since you want to try and take classes at Central. He made class very enjoyable and he's recommended by everyone who has taken that class with him.

I wish I could help you with the math stuff but I'm working on 13. And watching Iron Man. Mostly Iron Man : D

Well you could skip over to ch 15. But hopefully Barbara will log on and save the day.

So we need out stethoscope and penlight for Monday and are vital signs equip for Tues.

And I've been told that we're being tested over ch 1 in medical terminology Friday.

19. 41.5/2.2=18.9x40=756mg/day 40 is max dosage for child and question says severe.

20. daily dosage of 756mg and divide by 3 dosages (every 8 hours=3 dosages)...it comes to 252 mg but answer

in book says 250 mg. That all I could figure out...close enough! I am going to ask about that one

on Monday unless someone knows!

29. change # 28 to grams which would give you 18-27 grams then divide by 6 because every 4 hours would be 6

times daily.....which gives you 3-4.5g/dose.

Hope this helps! It is confusing as hell!

Also, I just asked someone else in my class to make sure I was not hearing things....Mrs. ***** told us that we will have 65 questions (10 being Med. Term, Chapter 1) AND a 10 question, 30 minute math test over Ch 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 immediately following the lecture test. I hope that I am wrong!!!!

That is what I heard too. Same as last week, just double the chapters and 10 extra q's. :stone

Fly_Dayton · Sep 12, 2009

Which confirms that they're only going to pick scraps from some chapters. Yay for scraps! Feel free to punch me if I'm wrong, just warn me before you do : D

Thanks Barbara!!! Now I don't have to stay after class on Tues for tutoring.

So do we need to complete ch 11 in Math for Meds also?

Fly_Dayton · Sep 12, 2009

I believe that is a negative. 12-15.

You are welcome...

I got carried away! Test on Chapters 12-15 only. Sorry!

We have a hectic week ahead of us!

Hopefully this test isnt too bad.

I hate the Med. Term. is on this test.

It just adds more material to study...there isnt enough hours in the day!

So we HAVE to go to the remedial on Monday for H.A.?

...I should be in Vegas right now! :crying2:

I think it's one of those voluntary but really involuntary things that we have to do. I mean, it said on blackboard for everyone to print out one of the 2 sheets and bring it to class.
