Definition: “The use of a simple technique with a fancy name for the process of manipulating units. By manipulating units you are able to eliminate or cancel unwanted units”. (Calculating with Confidence, by Deborah Gray Morris, 2010). 2. Steps of dimensional analysis a. Start your problem to the RIGHT of the “equal sign”- what are you solving for??  What is your destination? (mL/hour, mcg/kg/min, tabs, etc…..) b. Plug in the given information (avoiding any distractors)  Set-up your train tracks to arrive at your destination c. Cancel out “like units” d. Add conversion factors, as needed  Keep adding train tracks until you arrive at your destination 3. When setting up a problem, your “given” information will either be: a. One factor: tablets, milliliters, pounds, kilograms  Since dimensional analysis is a manipulation of factors, YOU MUST DECIDE whether your one factor (eg. Pounds), sits in the numerator or denominator of your problem. b. Two factors: mL/hour, gtt/ min, mg/mL  YOU MUST DECIDE where your 2 factors are placed (eg. mg / mL). Which label sits in the numerator and which one sits in the denominator of your problem? c. Three factors: mcg/kg/min, units/kg/hour  With three factors (Eg. mcg/kg/min), there is NO CHOICE. The first label (mcg) sits in the numerator and the last 2 factors (kg/min) sits in the denominator4 4. Common mistakes students make on math exams a. Not using dimensional analysis (ONE LONG “train track”) and trying to solve the problem in multiple “sub-steps”  Example: converting pounds to kilograms separately. 120 pounds x 1 kg = 54.545454 (per calculator) 2.2 pounds If you round this number to 54.5, you might NOT get the correct FINAL answer b. Calculator errors  Always multiply the entire numerator across TWICE and write down the answer  Always multiply the entire denominator across TWICE and write down the answer  Divide these results TWICE to get the final answer  You have now made SIX calculator checks!!! c. Bringing the wrong information into the problem: Example: 1000 mL of LR is to infuse over 8 hours 100 mL 8 hour Student accidentally inputs 100 mL instead of 1000 mL d. NOT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS provided at the beginning of the math exam  The following is the ACTUAL instructions that will appear on each of your remaining math exams  This test is to be completed the first day of lecture. You will have 50 minutes to complete the test.  Answers are to be rounded off to the hundredth (two decimal places), except for “ gtt/min” which is rounded to the nearest whole number.  Place “final answer” to be graded on the line provided (only ONE answer)  Amounts less than one REQUIRE a leading zero ( Eg. 0.5, NOT .5)  NEVER place a trailing zero after an answer. If the calculator states “10.8”, then that is your final answer- NOT “10.80” to create a “hundredth place”.  Students will not receive credit if work is not shown5 5. Example without distractors Mr. McCormick is receiving dopamine at 15 mL/hr by IV pump. The patient weighs 120 pounds. The dopamine concentration is 250 mg in 250 mL of D5W. Calculate the micrograms per kilogram per minute? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth: STEP ONE: Start to the right of the EQUAL sign (what is your destination?) = mcg kg/min STEP TWO: Plug in the given information (no distractors here) 15 mL X 250 mg = mcg hr 120 lb 250 mL kg/min STEP THREE: Cancel out like units 15 mL X 250 mg = mcg hr 120 lb 250 mL kg/min STEP FOUR: Add conversion factors until you arrive at your destination 15 mL X 250 mg 2.2 lb 1 hr 1000 mcg = 4.58 * mcg hr 120 lb 250 mL 1 kg 60 min 1 mg kg/min *To avoid calculator errors, always check you work, as discussed on the previous page. In the example above, include the following: = 8,250,000 = 4.583 , rounded to 4.58 1.800,0006 6. Example with distractors A 20 kilogram child is being treated for a severe infection. Zosyn IVPB 20 milligrams in 250 mL of LR is ordered and to be infused over 30 minutes. How fast will the nurse set the infusion pump? STEP ONE: Start to the right of the EQUAL sign (what is your destination?) = mL Hr STEP TWO: Plug in the given information QUESTIONS:  Are there any distractors “plugged in” below?  Which is correct- (A) or (B)? (A) 20 kg * 250 mL x = mL 200 mg * 30 min hr (B) 250 mL = mL 30 min hr *In (A) above, the kg and the mg will never cancel out to arrive at your destination of “mL/hr” !!! STEP THREE: Cancel out like units (NONE to cancel out in this example) 250 mL = mL 30 min hr STEP FOUR: Add conversion factors until you arrive at your destination 250 mL 60 min___ = 15,000 = 500 mL 30 min 1 hour 30 hr7 7. Solving for “day” versus “dose: when does the “frequency” of the medication become part of the problem ? a. You must remember that the physician writes an order as follows: Eg. Acetaminophen 10 mg/kg, PO, every 6 hours  The 10 mg/kg is a single dose  The route is PO  The frequency is every 6 hours b. Example where “frequency of the medication” is a distractor Acetaminophen 10 mg/kg, PO, every 6 hours is ordered for a 5 kg infant. Available is acetaminophen 160 mg/5mL. How many milliliters should the RN prepare for this dose? STEP ONE: Start to the right of the EQUAL sign (what is your destination?) = mL dose STEP TWO: Plug in the given information (add the word “dose” to the train track) 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL = mL Kg/dose 160 mg dose STEP THREE: Cancel out like units 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL = mL Kg/dose 160 mg dose STEP FOUR: NO conversion factors needed- you have arrived at your destination! 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL = 1.56 mL Kg/dose 160 mg dose Note: the original problem states “every 6 hours”. Consider it a distractor when the same word “dose” or “day” appear on BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUAL SIGN.8 c. Example where “frequency of the medication” is part of the problem Acetaminophen 10 mg/kg, PO, every 6 hours is ordered for a 5 kg infant. Available is acetaminophen 160 mg/5mL. How many milliliters should the RN give for the day? STEP ONE: Start to the right of the EQUAL sign (what is your destination?) = mL DAY STEP TWO: Plug in the given information (add the word “dose” to the train track) REMEMBER: physician always orders a single dose! 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL = mL Kg/dose 160 mg DAY STEP THREE: Cancel out like units 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL = mL Kg/dose 160 mg DAY STEP FOUR: Add conversion factors to arrive at destination: 10 mg 5 kg 5 mL 4 doses = 6.25 mL Kg/dose 160 mg DAY DAY Note: the original problem states “every 6 hours”, or 4 doses in a day. It is NOT a distractor when the when one side of equal sign says “day” and one side says “dose” (see STEP 2 above)9 General Math Information 1. Conversion Factors  1 kilogram (kg)=1000grams (g)  1 kilogram (kg)=2.2pounds (lbs)  1 gram (1g)=1000 milligrams (mg)  1 milligram (mg)=1000 microgram (mcg)  1 liter (L)=1000 milliliters (mL)  1 teaspoon (tsp)=5 milliliters (mL) 2. Acceptable Abbreviations *  ac = before meals  BID = twice a day  IM = intramuscular  IV = intravenously  NG = nasogastric  NPO = nothing by mouth  pc = after meals  PO = per mouth  qh = every hour  QID = four times a day  SL = sublingual  Stat = immediately  Subcut = subcutaneously  TID = three times a day *Pharmacology and the nursing process. By Lilley, Rainforth, Collins and Synder- 2014.10 3. Error-prone abbreviations that should NEVER be used *  QD Instead, write “daily”  QOD Instead, write “every other day”  IU or U Instead, write “units”  D/C Instead, write “discontinue”  SQ or subQ Instead, write “subcut”  cc Instead, write “mL” *http://www.ismp.org/Tools/errorproneabbreviations.pdf. This file is on the Institute for Safe medicine practice website. 4. Error-prone dose designations and “other information * Mistake Intended meaning Misinterpretation Correction Trailing zeros after decimal point Eg. 1.0 mg 1 mg Could be mistaken for 10 mg Never add a zero for a dose expressed as a whole number “Naked” decimal point Eg. .5mg 0.5 mg Could be mistaken for 5 mg if decimal not seen Always add a LEADING zero *http://www.ismp.org/Tools/errorproneabbreviations.pdf. This file is on the Institute for Safe medicine practice website.11 B. Course specific information 1. Medication administration independent math study modules a. Should be posted on each course shell b. States the content of the math exam c. For NR 320, 321, 322, 340, 442, 446, and 452: - Content of each exam is identical:  Total of 20 word questions worth 1 point each  95% correct  Approximately 2-4 oral, 2-4 injections, 2-4 simple IV, 4-7 simple IV with medications, 6-10 complex IV- some weight-based, 1 – 2 safe dose 2. What is a “safe dose” calculation? a. “Before administering medications to children, the nurse should know whether the ordered dosage is safe. Accuracy is always important when calculating medication dosages. For infants and children, exact and careful mathematics takes on even greater importance. A miscalculation, even small discrepancies, may be dangerous because of the size, weight, and body surface area (BSA) of the infant or child”. (Calculating with Confidence, by Deborah Gray Morris, 2010). b. Where does the nurse find the safe dosage range?  “This information comes from a reputable resource, such as a medication reference written especially for pediatrics or another medication reference book- ie. Drug book. Recommended dosages may also be indicated on the medication label under children's dosages. This is usually expressed in mg/kg for a 24-hour period to be given in one or more divided doses.” (Calculating with Confidence, by Deborah Gray Morris, 2010).  Example: 10 – 20 mg/kg/day in three divided doses c. Deciding if the dosage ordered by the physician is safe?  Example: The primary healthcare provided prescribes Amoxicillin 500 mg PO q 8 hours. The child weighs 70 pounds. The safe dose range is 20 – 40 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses. Is the dose ordered by the physician safe? A. Amoxicillin 500 mg PO q 8 hours (ordered dose by the doctor) B. 20 - 40 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses ( safe dose range ) d. Let’s do the math on the next page!12 The primary healthcare provided prescribes Amoxicillin 500 mg PO q 8 hours. The child weighs 70 pounds. The safe dose range is 20 – 40 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses. Round answer to nearest hundredth. (a) What is the minimum safe dose in mg/dose? 20 mg 70 lb 1 kg DAY = 1,400 = 121.121 = 121.12 mg/dose Kg/day 2.2 lb 3 doses 6.6 (b) What is the maximum safe dose in mg/dose? 40 mg 70 lb 1 kg DAY = 2,800 = 424.242 = 424.24 mg/dose Kg/day 2.2 lb 3 doses 6.6 (c) Is the dose ordered by the physician safe? (dose highlighted in RED above)- 500 mg As stated in (a) above, the MINIMUM safe dose to administer is 121.12 mg/dose As stated in (b) above, the MAXIMUM safe dose to administer is 424.24 mg/dose Since the ordered dose of 500 mg is NOT “in between” the minimum and maximum safe doses- it is NOT safe to administer. The RN must call the physician to clarify the orders!13 C. Practice Problems-  NOTE: Use these math problems to prepare for every math test for the remainder of the program. Questions on each course exam will focus on the specific patient population and type of medications administered to that population- BUT the “style” of the questioning will be the same!  Following the rounding rules discussed earlier in Section A, number 4 Solving for:  Tabs/dose  mL/dose  mL/dose (weight-based) 1.
