Foundation
Recognise the lesson’s key idea, the values that belong in the calculation and the unit the answer needs.
Pure arithmetic questions use fictional medication labels and practice-only mg/m² values, maxima and BSA scenarios. They are not treatment recommendations, protocols, prescribing instructions, dose caps or permission to administer. Keep BSA in m² separate from mg/m², and keep /dose, /day and the schedule exactly as written in the active instruction. For MedMaths practice, preserve full calculator precision through the BSA-to-dose chain unless the exercise explicitly says otherwise; clinical rounding follows the active protocol, product information, approved system or local policy. Use verified current patient measurements, the required BSA method and only source-specified BSA caps, dose maximums or weight methods.
Identify it
Recognise the lesson’s key idea, the values that belong in the calculation and the unit the answer needs.
Calculate it
Use clearly stated orders and supplied information to complete straightforward calculations.
Interpret it
Handle frequency, totals, conversions, order changes and realistic but relevant detail.
Reason through it
Reason through dense ward stories, changed orders, competing numbers and multi-part calculation chains.
