Introduction Flashcards
tsp, ml conversion
1 tsp = 5 ml
tbsp, ml conversion
1 tbsp = 15 ml
fl oz, ml conversion
1 fl oz = 30 ml
cup, oz, ml conversion
1 cup = 8 oz = 240 ml
pint, oz, ml conversion
1 pint = 16 oz = 480 ml
qt, pint, ml conversion
1 qt = 2 pint = 960 ml
gl, qt, ml conversion
1 gallon = 4 qt = 3840 ml
kg, lb conversion
1 kg = 2.2 lbs
oz, g conversion
1 oz = 28.4 g
lb, g, oz conversion
1 lb = 454 g = 16 oz
grain, mg conversion
1 grain = 65 mg
inch, cm conversion
1 inch = 2.54 cm
meter, cm conversion
1 meter = 100 cm
% w/v equation
X g ÷ 100 ml
% v/v equation
X ml ÷ 100 ml
% w/w equation
X g ÷ 100 g
ratio strength equation
percentage strength = 100 ÷ ratio strength
ratio strength = 100 ÷ percentage strength
ppm, percentage strength conversion
ppm → percentage strength: move decimal left by four places
specific gravity equation
weight of substance (g) ÷ weight of equl volume of water (g)
g ÷ mL
alligation
high [ ] …………………….x parts of higher [ ]
————-desired [ ]———————-
low [ ]……………………….x parts of lower [ ]
- high goes high: write the higher [ ] on the top left
- low goes low: write the lower [ ] on the lower left
- write the desired [ ] in the middle
- subtract the diagonally to obtain the parts (high/low [ ] and the desired [ ])
- divide the total desired amount by the sum of parts to get amount per part
- x parts of higher multiplied by amount per part to get how much of higher
osmolarity equation
mOsm/L = [wt of substance (g/L)] ÷ [MW (g/mole)] x (# of particles) x 1000
isotonicity equation
E = [58.5 x i] ÷ [MW of drug x 1.8]
mols equation
mol = g ÷ MW
mmol = mg ÷ MW
milliequivalents equation
mEq = (mg x valence) ÷ MW = mmols x valence
carbs, proteins kcals
4 kcal/gram
fat kcal
9 kcal/gram
dextrose kcal
2.4 kcal/ gram
amino acid soln kcal
4 kcal/gram
ILE 10% = _ kcal/mL
1.1 kcal/ml
ILE 20% = _ kcal/ml
2 kcal/ml
ILE 30% = _ kcal/ml
3 kcal/ml
equation to determine fluid needs
1500 mL + (20 ml)(weight in kg - 20)
can also roughly estimate using 30-40 ml/kg/day
total energy expenditure equation
TEE = BEE x activity factor x stress factor
grams of nitrogen from protein equation
nitrogen (g) = protein intake (g) ÷ 6.25
