  1. Medical Math Perform medical mathematical conversions common to the medical/health professions.

  2. Cubic centimeters = ccMillimeters = ml • 1 oz = 30 cc or ml • ml and cc are interchangeable. • To find out how many cc a pt. drank or voided, you would multiply 30 X oz. • Example: Ted drank 3 oz. of milk, how many cc did he drink? • 30 X 3 = 90 cc or ml

  3. Math Problems

  4. Check your answers:

  5. One teaspoon (tsp.) = 5 cc or 5 ml One tablespoon (tbs.) = 15 cc or 15 ml If a Dr. ordered a pt. to take 3 teaspoons of a medication how many cc would the pt. take? 3 x 5 = 15 cc or ml How many tablespoons is that? (15cc/ 15 tbs = 1tbs) Teaspoons and Tablespoons

  6. Check your math…

  7. Answers…

  8. 1 kg or (kilogram) x 2.2 lb (pounds)=lbs If an infant weights 4.09 kg their weight in lb is: 4.09kg x 2.2lb = 8.998 or 9lbs 1 lbs / 2.2 = kilograms If an infant weighs 10 lbs how much is that in kg? 10 lbs/2.2=4.54kg Weight Check it out….

  9. Work the math…

  10. Answers…. • 10lb x .454 kg = 4.54 kg • 20lb x .454 kg = 9.08 Kg 10 mgm/kg/cc 10 x 9.08 =90 cc

  11. Temperature Conversions To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius you must use the following formula: C=(F-32)5/9 Example: Mary’s temperature is 101F and your sister wants to know what that would be in C you would convert it: C=(101-32)5/9 (101-32= 69 X5=345/9=38.3 C

  12. Temperature Conversion In order to convert Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) you must use the following formula: F= (C)9/5 + 32 For example: Your sister took your nephew to the Doctor and the nurse told her the babies temperature is 38C you tell her the babies temp is _ in Fahrenheit F=(38C) x9=342/5=68.4 + 32 =100.4F

  13. Converting inches to centimeters One inch= 2.5 centimeters. If a person has a wound and it is 10 inches in diameter how many inches is it in cm? 10 X 2.5 = 25 cm. The wound is 25 cm in diameter. If a person has a 15 cm cut on their arm could they cover it with a 2 inch band aide? 15 / 2.5 = 6 inches no they would need three band aides.
