DOSE CONVERSION PRACTICE CALCULATION

1 meter = 3.28 ft; 12 inch = 1 ft Q. A patient height is 5 ft 2 inches. In meters?


1 m = 3.3ft (3.28 ft) i.e. the conversion factor from meters to feet is 3.28
1 m = 39.37 inches
100 cm = 1m
ss = one half
3 ounces = 90 ml; Q. Add 6 ounce of fluid?
2 tbsp = v 30 ml Q. Add ½ tbsp.?
CALCULATING DENSITY/MASS/VOLUME

Given Want?
Theobroma oil 2.2 g and density is 0.9 g/ml How many mls?
Glycerine 1500 ml and density is 1.2 g/ml How many grams
Winter green oil 900 ml and density is 0.89 g/ml How many grams?
CALCULATING BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

A client BMI = weight in Kg/height m2 Calculate BMI?


Body weight 90 kg and height 160 cm
Pt. body weight 190 lbs and height 5.2 ft
Pt. body weight 150 lbs and height 5 ft
Pt. body weight 78 kg and height 5ft.4in
