Rounding Decimals Round to Whole Number:
Example: Round to whole number: a. 3.7658 b. 6.2413 If the first decimal number is ≥ 5, round off by adding 1 to the whole number and drop all the numbers after the decimal point. If the first decimal place is ≤ 4, leave the whole number and drop all the numbers after the decimal point. 3.7658 = 4 6.2413 = 6 Round to 1st decimal: Example: Round to whole number: a. 3.7658 b. 6.2413
If the 2nd decimal number is ≥ 5, round off by adding 1 to the 1st decimal number and drop all the number after the 1st decimal number. If the second decimal number is ≤ 4, …show more content…

Formula Method: Identify the following on the problem: D, H, Q and A Fill in the formula Cancel the units Calculate

D/H x Q = X

D = desired dose
H = dose on hand
Q = dosage unit
A = unknown

Ratio-Proportion Method

Convert:
Units you are converting to (A) Number you need to convert (B) A/B or A:B

Unknown (C) Number that you need to convert (D)

Set up the proportion: A/B = C/D or A:B = C:D

Cancel Units

Cross-multiply to solve for the unknown

(Dosage on Hand)/(Amount on Hand) x (Desired Dosage)/((X) Amount desired)

C. Dimensional Analysis

Determine the unit of measure for the: amount to give ratio (left side of the equation)

Supply dosage ratio (right side of the equation)
(unit of numerator should match the unit numerator of amount to give ratio)

Set-up Conversion factor ratio (units of measure for the answer on top and the units you are converting from on the bottom) Cancel units on the right side of the equation, leaving unit of amount to give.

In 1998, NASA (National Air and Space Agency) and ESA (European Space Agency) lost communication with their space observatory and millions of dollars because the agencies were using different units and failed to set up the observatory’s system to use both correctly. In 1999, a patient received 0.5 grams of a sedative instead of the 0.5 grains intended. One grain is equal to 0.065 grams, so the patient received almost eight times the amount they should have! The Institute for Safe Medication Practices encourages medications to be prescribed only in metric units after this incident. Perhaps other fields should follow suit and stick to universal metric

Then, by splitting up the second number as the sum of powers of two, and using the laws of distribution and the columns, find the answer (Egyptian Mathematics, n.d.). An example follows: Consider 43×38. First, the right column will be the powers of two, and the left column will be 43, constantly doubled (this can be achieved by basic addition). The red columns are just to aid the explanation. 43×1

When interpreting concentration measurements, factors that need to be considered include the sampling time in relation to drug dose, dosage history, patient response, and the desired medicinal targets. The goal of therapeutic drug monitoring is to use suitable concentrations of difficult-to-manage medications to optimize clinical outcomes in patients in various clinical situations. Keywords: Drug monitoring, therapeutic; Pharmacokinetics Introduction Therapeutic drug monitoring is generally defined as the measurement of specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream. Monitored drugs tend to have a narrow therapeutic index, that is a ratio between the toxic and therapeutic doses of medications.
