1/4 gr. = _____ mg - Answer: 15
Convert 1/4 to a decimal => 0.25, then solve
Order: Armour Thyroid gr. X by mouth daily
Supply: 300 mg tablets
How many tablets will you administer per dose? - Answer: 2
Convert the grains to mg. gr. X means 10 grains. Since 1 grain = 60 mg, 10 grains =
600 mg, so you need 2 tablets.
Order: Tylenol 1 gm by mouth q 6 h as needed for pain
Supply: 5 gr. capsules
How many capsules will you give? - Answer: 3
Convert 1 gm to grains. 1 gm = 15 grains.
So, you need 3 of the 5 gr. capsules to make 15 gr.
Order: liquid suspension Aspirin 180 mg p.o. daily
Supply: gr. V per 2 mL
How many mL will you administer per dose? - Answer: 1.2 mL
First, convert 180 mg to gr. So, 180 mg = 3 gr.
Set up your equation.
I set up my equations by putting what I NEED = to what I am SUPPLIED
x (mL needed) over 3 gr. = 2 mL over 5 gr
Solve for x by cross multiplying.
Order: Diazepam 5 mg IV for q 6 h for agitation as needed
Supply: gr. iss/2mL (the ss has a line over the top)
How many mL will you administer per dose? - Answer: 0.1 mL
, iss(line over the ss) are Roman numerals. i = 1 and ss with a line over them means 1/2
or 0.5. So, if you see iss, it means 1 1/2 or 1.5. So, the supply is 1.5 grains per 2 mL.
First, convert the 5 mg to gr. So, 5 mg = 0.08 gr.
Set up your equation.
I set up my equations by putting what I NEED = to what I am SUPPLIED.
x(mL needed) over 0.08 gr. = 2 mL over 1.5 gr.
Solve for x by cross multiplying.
The patient's output is 2025 mL during your 12-hour shift. If the patient had an intake of
3394 mL, what should you monitor the patient for as the nurse?
A. Fluid volume overload
B. Dehydration
C. These findings are within normal limits. Continue to monitor. - A
Order: Morphine 1/8 grains IV q 4 h p.r.n. for pain
Supply: 2 mg/mL
How many mL will you administer per dose? - Answer: 3.75
First, convert 1/8 to a decimal. 1/8 grain = 0.125 grain. Now convert grains to mg. 0.125
grain = 7.5 mg.
Set up your equation.
I set up my equations by putting what I NEED = to what I am SUPPLIED.
x (mL needed) over 7.5 mg = 1 mL over 2 mg
Solve for x by cross multiplying.
Convert 0.75 to a fraction. - Write down 0.75 divided by 1. (0.75/1)
Multiply the top and bottom by 100. You are multiplying by 100 because there are 2
digits after the decimal. If there were only 1 digit, you would multiply by 10. If there were
3 digits, you would multiply by 1000. 4 digits would be 10000 and so on.
After multiplying top and bottom by 100, you will have 75 over 100. Now, simplify this by
dividing each by 25 (largest number that will go into each evenly). Now, you have 3 over
4, so 0.75 has been converted into the fraction 3/4.
Note: If you're not sure what the largest number is that will go into each, just start with
the one you know. In this instance you could start with 5 or 25. Just keep reducing until
you can no longer divide each one with the same number and still get a whole number.
