INTRODUCTION

This workbook has been designed to help you to practise the maths that is relevant to
administering drugs in the normal course of a drug round. It is not designed to be
difficult but it will make you think. The list of decimals, fractions and percents given on
page two is something you must learn. Most nurses will have covered this at school.
An Answer Sheet and the Answers have been provided. Print out and fill in your
answers on the Answer Sheet and then mark your work using the Answers provided.
You are strongly recommended to work through all the exercises before checking your
performance.

Using calculators

Working through the following exercises without using a calculator will help you to
develop arithmetical knowledge and skill. The NMC caution nurses about the place of
calculators when making drug calculations:

The use of calculators to determine the volume or quantity of medication should
not act as a substitute for arithmetical knowledge and skill.
(NMC (2007) Standards for Medicines Management, p. 24)

If you use a calculator you will not benefit from the learning and practise provided here.

Seek advice and support

If you have any problems with any of the maths in this workbook you need to seek
help. Your university may have a Maths Support Centre where you can receive
individual help. Alternatively, speak to your tutor about getting help with your maths
skills.

Reflect Press Ltd publishes Numeracy, Clinical Calculations and Basic Statistics by
Neil Davison, which also provides guidance, examples and practice exercises to help
you to develop your maths and clinical calculation skills. This book is available as a
print copy from Amazon or as an ebook from the Reflect Press Success website
(www.reflectpress-success.co.uk).

Medicines

To work out the correct dose for medicines you can use a formula called WIG.

What you Want X what (the medicine) is In =the answer
What you have Got

For example: Blahblah medicine comes in 25 mgs per 2 mls. How many mls for a 50
mg dose?

what you Want - 50
what you have Got - 25 X what it is In - 2

50
25 X 2 = 2 x 2 = 4 mls

Medicines are usually easy to work out and you may not need to use the formula. Try
these exercises without using the WIG formula.

13) You have medicine 5 mg in 5 mls. How many mls for a:
a) 10 mg dose?
b) 5 mg dose?
c) 20 mg dose?
d) 15 mg dose?
e) 7.5 mg dose?
How many mgs in:
f) 10 mls?
g) 5 mls?
h) 15 mls?
i) 20 mls?
j) 12.5 mls?

a) 10 mg dose?
b) 20 mg dose?
c) 40 mg dose?
d) 15 mg dose?
How many mgs in:
e) 5 mls?
f) 10 mls?
g) 15 mls?
h) 20 mls?
19

a) 5 mg dose?
b) 10 mg dose?
c) 20 mg dose?
d) 15 mg dose?
How many mgs in:
e) 5 mls?
f) 15 mls?
g) 10 mls?
h) 20 mls?
i) 12.5 mls?

a) 4 mg dose?
b) 6 mg dose?
c) 2 mg dose?
d) 8 mg dose?
How many mgs in:
e) 15 mls?
f) 10 mls?
g) 20 mls?
h) 5 mls?

(Please note - heparin 25 000 units also comes in a one ml ampoule. This should not be given
subcutaneously as it is for IV infusion use only. It is too large a volume to inject under the skin.)

Giving intravenous fluid

You can use an IVAC pump to give these fluids. An IVAC pump delivers fluid at a rate
of mls per hour (ml/hr).

A givings set will give the fluid at 20 drops per ml. That means every 1 ml takes 20
drips of the givings set. So you would multiply (X) your ml/hr by 20 and then divide that
by 60 to give your drops per minute (min) (because there are sixty minutes in an hour
and you will only count the drips for one minute).

For example
Mr Exe is prescribed normal saline 1L in 8 hrs.
This would be 1000 divided by 8 =125 mls/hr

You would set the IVAC pump at a rate of 125 ml/hr
To use a givings set at 20 drops/ml:

125 X 20 = 41.666 drops per minute
60

(In practice you would count to the nearest whole number which is 42 drops a minute)

(givings sets can deliver at other rates like, for example, 15 drops/ml)

52) You have a 1 litre (L) bag of dextro-saline. The givings set delivers at 20 drops/ml

d) Ms Dee is prescribed 1L in 12 hrs.
26

e) Mr Eff is prescribed 1L in 4 hrs.

f) Mrs Gee is prescribed 1L in 8 hrs.

53) You have a 500 ml bag of 5% dextrose. The givings set delivers at 15 drops/ml

a) Mr Aitch is prescribed 500 mls over 5 hrs.

b) Mrs Eye is prescribed 500 mls over 4 hrs.

c) Miss J ay is prescribed 500 mls over 10 hrs.

d) Ms Kay is prescribed 500 mls over 2 hrs.

54) The IV assessed nurse has 500 mgs of erythromycin which has been put into a
250 ml bag of normal saline. The givings set delivers at 20 drops/ml

SECTION 4 Body Mass Index

Body mass index (BMI) is a measurement commonly used in practice. It cannot be
measured directly but needs to be calculated. You need to know how work out the BMI
of your patients.

You must know the patients weight in KILOGRAMS and height in METRES.
BMI is worked out by taking the patients weight and dividing it by their height
which has been squared. Squared means that you multiply a number by itself. A
small
2
symbolises this. Thus:

1
2
=1 x 1 =1
2
2
=2 x 2 =4
3
2
=3 x 3 =9

You need to look at your patients BMI to be able to offer them appropriate health
advice, for example about losing or gaining weight/adjusting eating habits. Use the
following examples for practise.

For an adult
BMI >20 is underweight/malnourished
BMI 20-25 is normal
BMI 25-30 is overweight
BMI 30-40 is obese
BMI<40 is morbidly obese

Please note BMI does not assess body fat, so should not be used for children,
pregnant women, athletes, body builders. Use with caution on older patients who may
have lost height/muscle mass.

Example
Sue weighs 50 kgs and is 1.5 m tall

50 1.5
2
= 50 2.25 = 22.22

Round this to the nearest whole number so:

Sues BMI is 22

What do you think of this? Sues BMI is within the normal limits, so she should be
reassured.

29

58) Do the following examples

Weight Height BMI Your comment
Dave 80 kg 1.8 m
Pashmi 80 kg 1.6 m
Greta 54 kg 1.5 m
J oseph 70 kg 1.7 m
Wendy 48 kg 1.55 m
Peta 68 kg 1.55 m

Now work out your own BMI and give yourself some appropriate advice! Try it on your
friends or family members.
