I always love what you say at the end of the video about how god created the nurse you are meant to be. It makes my heart feel so warm. Lovely video!

On the second question- the conversions of mins && hours not included?

[victoriatrotta]

Also for questions with drips and how fast would it always be ml/hr?

[jamopolento]

for question no. 2, it was asking for the rate of Dobutamine with the order of 5mcg/kg/min, why is the final answer at ml/hr?

[tambrastaley]

question 1. how do you get rid of the min. It doesn't cancel out in the problem. Please clarify. - Tambra

[breinnasandi]

I did 157÷2.2 to get 71.36kg then continued as normal with the

5mcg/1kg × 1mg/1000mcg × 250ml/500 × 60min/hr

=5352000/50000
=10.7

Im unsure if converting first will always lead to the same answer but, I commented in case anyone else has the same concern.

[victoriatrotta]

Hi, I thought for drips that the number always needed to be a whole number because we cant count a 2.3 drip.. so would we have to round up or down ?

[victoriatrotta]

how do I know when to round up or down? will the problem tell me? or..

[sherrymiller]

I thought that you could not leave decimal in milliliters

[ZayaLondon]

Hello I have a quick question. For question 3 you didn’t cross out mins so I’m confused how you got your answer of mL/hr

[jaymorgan.]

For the 2nd Question I did 50/ 200 x 1.2 / 1 and divided 60/200 got 0.3 and multiplied it by 84 and got a answer of 25.2. Does it matter how you calculate if you come up with the same answer?

[CRknows]

Is there a formula or how do you know where to place these numbers?

[charleswilson]

In Q1 since the order is 5mcg/kg/hr why was it necessary to convert hr to minutes?

[ary]

On the first question would it be wrong to round it ? So 11.45 to 11.5?

[angelaaninagyei]

I thought we will follow the same procedure with question 1 for the second question but I was wrong 😩

[louiserya]

U r teaching well, but I can read those words they r too small.

[MySSS]

question # 2 is too fast demonstrated for beginners :(
