NSG 444---Medication Math Practice Packet Questions With Correct Solutions, Already Passed!!

Student will complete the math problems assigned for verification of completion in class during review. Students are given three attempts to pass the Medication Math Benchmark at a 90% achievement level. REMEDIATION When a student does not pass a benchmark exam, he/she will make an appointment to remediate with the instructor. • First attempt will receive 10 points; • second attempt will receive 5 points; • third attempt will receive 1 point. Instructor will provide this packet of Medication Math problems at the remediation appointment. Instructor may provide the key to assist the student in checking for competency. In the event the third attempt has not met proficiency, the student may not continue to advance in the nursing program Med Math Competencies 1.a Convert measures within the metric system 1.b Convert household measures to the metric system 1.c.
