N112 Conversions

N112 - Medication conversions & calculations

QuestionAnswer
Drop ggt
Teaspoon tsp or t = 5 mL
Tablespoon tbsp or T = 15 mL
Ounce oz = 2 tbsp or 30 mL
Cup cup = 8 oz = 240 mL
Pint pt = 2 cups
Quart qt = 4 cups or 2 pt
One kg 1000 g or 2.2 lbs
One grain (gr i) 60 mg
15 grains (gr xv) 1 g or 1000 mg
Converting grains (gr) to grams (g) divide by 15
Converting grams (g) to grains (gr) multiply by 15
Converting grains (gr) to milligrams (mg) multiply by 60 gr 1/400 = ? gm 0.0025x60=0.15 mg
Converting milligrams (mg) to grains (gr) divide by 60 600mg = ? gr 600/60=gr 10
Converting grams (g) to milligrams (mg) divide by 1000
Converting milligrams (mg) to grams (g) multiply by 1000
Converting micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg) multiply by 1000
Converting milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg) divide by 1000
Fahrenheit to Celsius (*F - 32) X 5/9 = *oC
Celsius to Fahrenheit (*C X 5/9) + 32 = *F
Converting pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg) divide by 2.2
Converting kilograms (kg) to pounds (lbs) multiply by 2.2
Formula method of finding dosage D/H x V = X (desired / have x volume = X) desired = dose ordered, have = dose on hand, volume = solid or liquid, X = amount to be given
Calculating flow rate V/T x DF = R (volume/time x drop factor = rate) volume = amount to be infused, time = time required for volume (must be in minutes), drop factor = calibration of IV tubing, rate (flow rate) in ggt/min
Short-cut method for drop factoring Must be ml/hr, does not work for flow rates less than one hour = 15ggt/min = 60/15 = 4 drops per minute = 240 drops per hour
