Foundation
Recognise the lesson’s key idea, the values that belong in the calculation and the unit the answer needs.
Use fictional practice infusion values to move between mcg/kg/min (micrograms/kg/min) and mL/hr. These are arithmetic exercises, not medicine-specific prescribing, preparation, titration or administration instructions. Use the authorised/verified dosing weight and the current concentration and pump rate that belong to the same infusion state. If required values are missing, conflicting or from different bag/order states, stop and clarify rather than inventing a value or mixing values from different infusion states. Reverse arithmetic gives the dose rate represented by the supplied inputs; it does not verify actual physical delivery to the patient.
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.
