    Hi, I just want to say thank for really breaking down the math formulas. You actually make them better to understand and I just started Pharmacy Tech 2 months ago and I'm having trouble understanding the math problems even when I read how to do it.

    I have watched several of your videos and plan to watch more. I am taking my final exam on Monday for my Pharmacy Tech class and will follow that with the PTCB National Cert. I am struggling with the math and your videos seem to put it on a level I can grasp. So thank you!

      Look for rx warehouse fulfillment center/ Walgreens fulfillment center. If u in the east coast look for GRANE RX. Once u apply for State provision u got 18 months to work in pharmacy to get yo LICENSE with 4 trys. It's $150 every time u fail. U can take it as much as u like. But u only get PTCB provision ONE TIME.

    Hello O'neisha, I just want to confirm no matter what we are trying to solve ex. w/w, w/v and v/v do we always have to cross multiply? Thank you.

    There is so much work to do. I am stuck on this problem: a physician orders cimetidine 300 mg in D-5-W; total volume is 75 mL to run for 1 1/2 hours. With use of a drop factor of 40 drops/mL, what is the flow rate for these fluids? Ho many milligrams of cimetidine will the patient receive in 20 minutes? How many milliters per hour should the patient receive?

    • @ucheo1389
      @ucheo1389 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      33 drops per minute. At 40drops per min you have a total of 40 x 75= 3000 drops. Spread it over 1.5hrs/90 mins . it gives you 3000÷90 = 33.33333

    Heres one for you I can't solve. A physician perscribed an antibiotic to be mixed in white petrolatum to produce a 25% antibiotic preparation. The physician later changed his protocol to be only 12.5%. How much white petrolatum must be mixed with each 6 ounce ointment container of 25% preparation to make the new 12.5% preparation? Calculate your answer in grams

    200mg/5ml = 100mg/xml
    5ml x 100mg =
    200x x
    500=200 (do we divide)?
    X=2.5

    This is the first time looking into any of this and I knew 2.5 as soon as u laid out the equation. 200mg/5ml = 100mg/xml. 100 mg is half of the weight. Clearly we are looking for half of the volume because we have half of the weight. Half of 5 is 2.5.

      She showed how to take it apart and solve, in a real pharmacy it wouldn't be that easy for you to just say oh 5, it's 2.5 ml! You have to know how the math or algebra!

    When they say 1:400 ratio, why is it automatically 1g:400ml not 1 unit to 400 units? Thank you for this helpful video though!

    Hi I’m currently studying to pass my ptu (test required by my pharmacy work place) I am having trouble with my math. I have been studying off books and some practice questions that I have ran into from the work books. I don’t understand how they got the answer they did. For example: if 100 grams of dextrose is ordered using a 50% dextrose solution how many ml are needed? The answer is 200 ml but I don’t understand how they got 200ml from. (Seen it from answer key) I hope you can help understand these type of math questions! I feel so lost :,(

    im just browsing these vids because I am honestly terrible at math, when I read that fractions were involved I always struggled with fractions and hated them, preferring something like decimals. But proportions and balancing equations etc I LOVE to do! But, I still feel mathematically retarded when it comes to other things lol. I find myself needing to ask a lot of questions to better understand and this is something I'm afraid of in college because I feel I need to be more independent and rely more on myself than the professor to basically "hold my hand" like in high school where I could just freely come in and consistently ask questions to gain a better understanding and feel more confident about myself.
