A proportion problem is missing one element of the ratio eg. 4:X = 1:3 multiply outer (375 x 1 = 375) multiply inner (150 times x = 150 X) divide 375 by 150 which results in 375 / 150 divided out is 2. Tab Correct me if i'm wrong!

Ratio & Proportion Method What’s a ratio? Two number related to each other
Why care? Meds often expressed in ratio form
Eg. 125mg/1 tablet or 125 mg:1 tablet
250mg/10ml or 250 mg:10 ml proportion shows two equal ratios eg. 4/12 = 1/3 or 4:12 = 1:3
A proportion problem is missing one
element of the ratio Eg. 4:X = 1:3 To solve, cross multiply Multiply outer numbers (4, 3) Multiply inner numbers (X,1) 4X3 = 12, X times 1 means X equals one, thus X = 12 But … You can use DA or Dimentional Analysis to solve problems
Just be aware that
there are many ways to do the same thing Med example Dose ordered is 375mg and you have tablets of 150mg … how many are needed?
375mg:X = 150mg:1 tablet
(The two mg cross each other out) Multiply outer (375 X 1 = 375) Multiply inner (150 times X = 150 X) Thus 375 = 150X, Divide 375 by 150 Result is 2.5 tablets Doing this same problem with DA We want 375 mg of medicine and need to know how many tabs We have tablets that are 150mg each Want #/tab, Have 375mg/1 X 1 tab/150mg (cross out mg) Write:375/1 X 1 tab/150 which results in 375/150, divided out is 2.5 tab Correct me if I’m wrong! Another way to use the proportion method is to determine percents What is 75% of 4? 3 is what percent of 4? 75% of what number is 3?
Method: Part/whole = percent/100
Or in ratio form 3:4 = 75:100
Multiply outer 3x100 = 300 and Multiply inner 4 x 75 = 300)
Percent – the number with the percent sign
Part – the number with the word is Whole – the number with the word of Figuring out IV flow rates
Flow Rate = (Volume) administrative set/time
Identify the values of each factor
Flow rate (volume) administrative set Time
Keep in mind that terminology
may vary for each factor Other terms for factors Factor Other Units name(s) Represented Flow rate Drip rate gtts/min or Drop rate µgtts/min Volume ------ cc, ml, or l
Administrative Set, drip gtts/ml, or
set factor, µgtts/ml microdrip Time ------- Min (divide by 60 to get hrs) Plug identified values in … Flow rate = volume (admin set)/time (Volume times admin set divided by time) Eg. Volume is 250 ml Administrative set is 15 gtts/ml Time is 100 min
Thus Flow rate = 250 ml X 15 gtts/ml / 100
min. (cross out ml, result is gtts/min) 250X15=3750, divided by 100 = 37.5 gtts/min or 38 gtts min Can’t give half a drop so round up Other IV info that is helpful Some meds are measured in units Eg. Penicillin, heparin, insulin, pitocin Definitions: Solute: dissolved substance (such as Na in 0.9% NS or Dextrose in D5W) Solvent: liquid in which solute is dissolved Percent concentration: number of grams of solute in 100 ml of solution or solvent Titration: adjusting infusion or IV dosage over time to obtain measurable response Examples of IV solutions:
D5W means 5% dextrose in 100 parts water or 5
g dextrose in 100 ml water So in 1000 ml, there would be 5 g dextrose x 10 or 50 g dextrose 10% Na means 10%/10parts/10 g Na in 100 ml water So in 1000 ml, there would be 10 g Na x 10 or 100 g Na
What about Normal Saline? 0.9% NS?
0.9 g Na or 0.9 parts Na per 100 ml water 0.9 x 10 (to make 1000 ml) = 9 g Na in 100 ml Solve for Time Flow rate = volume (admin set)/time
Ordered is 2 liters of 0.9% NS @ 75mcgtts/min
(µgtts/min)
Thus write as: 75 µgtts/min=2000 ml times 60 µgtts/min / X
min Cross out two µgtts/min 2000ml x 60 totals 120000:X min = 75:1 Multiply outer and inner values 120000 = 75 X, therefore X = 120000/75 or 1600 minutes Divide by 60 to get hours Answer is 26 hours and 40 min. What about with an IV pump? Set to run at ml/hr
Total infusion time = volume to infuse
Either ml/min or ml/hr
Run an IV of 500 ml for 6 hrs?
6 hrs = 500 ml. Divide 500 by 6 = 83.3 ml/hr or 83 ml/hr Word Problems Figure out from the text What is being asked? What info is extraneous (if any)? What is important information?
Mrs. G will start Zoloft 25 mg PO qd and
increase by 25 mg weekly until she reaches 100 mg. How many weeks will this take? Words are just words Half-life Metabolism
Medicine A is metabolized in the kidney and has a half-life
of 16 hours. If she takes 20 mg at 0900 in the morning, at what time will approximately 10 mg be in her system?
To answer: Add 16 hours to 0900 or 0900 plus 12 hours
= 2100 plus another 4 hours = 2500 or 0100 the next morning. In this case, the information about the kidney was just extra information. What about calories? How many calories per gram? Protein = 4 (kilo)calories/gram Carbohydrates = 4 (kilo)calories/gram Fat = 9 (kilo)calories/gram
So – figuring out calories means
multiplying caloric value (either 4 or 9) times the number of grams then adding up totals And fluid counts? Convert if necessary from oz to ml Then add
Eg. 12 oz coffee = 12 x 30 = 360 ml
Eg. 4 oz OJ = 4 x 30 = 120 ml Eg. 8 oz water = 8 x 30 = 240 ml
Total? 360 + 120 + 240 = 720 ml
