Naplex - Math Formulas 2

This document provides definitions and formulas for various medical and chemistry concepts: 1) Acids are electron donors and bases are electron acceptors in acid-base reactions. 2) Alligation problems use percentages to calculate total amounts when combining substances of different concentrations. 3) BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared. 4) BSA is the body surface area in meters squared and is calculated using the square root of a person's height in cm multiplied by their weight in kg divided by 3600.

1.

acid/base acid = donor


base = acceptor
2. Alligation higher % \ / parts of higher %
desired%
lower % / \ parts of lower %
add parts to find total # of parts
3. BMI (weight kg)/(height m2)
4. BSA in m2 sq root of [Ht(cm) x wt
(kg)/3600]
5. Ca carbonate to Ca
citrate conversion
Ca carbonate is 40%
Ca citrate is 21%
6. Corrected calcium Ca(corrected) = Ca(serum) + [(4.0
- albumin) x (0.8)]
normal Ca = 8.5-10 mEq/L
normal Albumin = 3.5-5 g/dL
7. CrCl (140-age)/(72 x Cr) x (wt in kg)
x 0.85 if female
8. half life t(1/2) = 0.693/ke
ke = elimination constant
9. IBW males= 50kg + 2.3kg (inches over
5 ft)
females= 45.5kg + 2.3kg (inches
over 5 ft)
10. kcal 10% fat emulsion 1.1 kcal/mL
11. kcal 20% fat emulsion 2 kcal/mL
12. kcal Dextrose 3.4 kcal/g
13. kcal lipids 9 kcal/g
14. kcal protein/amino
acids
4 kcal/g
15. milliequivalents mEq = mg x valence /MW
16. Osmolarity mOsm/L= [(conc g/L)/MW] x (#
of species) x 1000
17. signs of acidosis pH < 7.5
inc. Cl
dec. Bicarb
if acidotic use at least 50% Na
acetate, instead of NaCl
18. signs of alkalosis pH>7.45
dec. Cl
inc. Bicarb
19. Specific Gravity weight in g / volume in mL
1.1g of H2O = 1 mL of water
20. strength adjustments Q1C1=Q2C2
quantity and concentration
21. temperature
conversion
F -> C T-32/1.8
C ->F T(1.8) + 32
22. water
requirements in
TPN
calculated first to avoid or correct volume
depletion or overload
23. weak acid pH = pKa + log (salt/acid)
24. weak base pH = pKw -pKb + log (base/salt)
pKw = 14
