Kilogram weights should be rounded immediately, before proceeding with the problem. Otherwise, don't round until you get to the final answer. Answers that are not correctly rounded to the nearest tenth are graded as incorrect. For example, 3.25 is rounded to 3.3. I.V. flow problems are rounded to the nearest whole drop. For example, 33.3 is rounded to 33 drops. If the answer is less than 1, with no whole number before the decimal point, ALWAYS place a zero in front of the decimal. This is a safety issue. An answer on the test not preceded by a zero as appropriate will be graded as an incorrect notation. For example, .7 must be written as 0.7 in order to be considered appropriate notation. If the answer is 1,000 or above indicate the number with a comma. ALWAYS omit terminal zeros. Answer containing terminal zeros violate patient safety standards, and will be graded as an incorrect notation. For example 12.50 must be written as 12.5 in order to be considered appropriate notation. The answer must be labeled in correct terms. In incorrectly labeled answer is considered a wrong answer. For example, 7 mg is not the same as 7 mL. Metric units of measure are expressed indecimals; apothecary units of measure are expressed infractions. For example, 30 mg = Yz gr. Fractions must always be reduced to lowest terms. 8. Onthetest,circleyourONEfinalanswer.Ifanyanswerinthecircleinincorrect,theansweris graded an incorrect.
