Question

Please print out this page, then complete by hand and submit to your instructor at the next class meeting Medical Math Problems (1 pt. each) ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE REVIEW/REPEAT MATERIAL 1. A patient gained 12 lh of weight in the first 4months of pregnancy She now weighs Z0ks pre-pregnancy weight in lb? What was her 2. A baby was born $2cmlong The baby grew 2 inches from birth How long is the baby now in inches and centimeters? A patient's temperature increased by 2 degrees Fahrenhsit if the patient's temperature was 32.2 "C what is his current temperature in "F? 3. 4. A patient in ICU is getting a tube feeding. His daily formula volume is 1800 c This amount of formula provides 280 grams of glucose per day. Another patient is receiving the same formula, but gets only 1290 of this formula per day. How much glucose is the second patient receiving per day? 5. What is the % glucoss in the tube feeding formula from the problem above? Critical Thinking Question (5 pts.) (You may use the back of the page to write your answer if needed)

using dimensional analysis please..Thank you :)

Answer 1

1. The patient's present weight is 70 kg

She has gained 12lbs means 12×0.45 = 5.4kg

5.4 kg of weight she has gained in the first 4months of pregnancy . So, her pre - pregnancy weight in lb was 143.5 lbs ( 70kg - 5.4 kg = 64.6 kg , 64.6kg ÷ 0.45 = 143.5lb )

2. The length of baby when he was born was 52 cm = 20.47inches

The baby has grown 2 inches =5.08cm

So, his new length will be 57.08 cm and 22.47 inches

3. The temperature of the patient is 37.2 ℃

Temperature increased by 2 °F

Firstly , we have to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

Formula = 9/5 × ℃ + 32

= 9/5 ×37.2 + 32

= 98.9°F

Temperature increased by 2°F ,so the present temperature will be 100.2 °F

4. 1800 ml of formula feed is providing 280 GM of glucose

1ml of formula feed will provide 280/1800gm

1290ml of formula feed will provide = 280/1800× 1290

= 200.6 GM of glucose will be provided by 1290 ml of formula feed .

The second patient will get 200.6gm of glucose
