ATI Dosage Calculations Practice-Answer Key

CONVERTING POUNDS TO KILOGRAMS STEP OUTLINE VIEW For example, the client’s weight is 128 lb. Determine this client’s weight in kg. (Round to the tenth.) STEP 1: What is the unit of measurement you need to calculate? kg STEP 2: Set up an equation and solve for X, with X representing the amount of kilograms. Cross multiply and solve for X. X = 58.1818 STEP 3: Round if necessary, using general rounding rules. You should also follow policies and procedures of your facility. For the purpose of this module, we will round to the tenth. Therefore, 58.1818 rounds to 58.2. STEP 4: Reassess to determine if the equivalent makes sense. If 1 kg = 2.2 lb, it makes sense that 128 lb = 58.2 kg. CONVERTING POUNDS TO KILOGRAMS STEP OUTLINE VIEW For example, the client’s weight is 96 lb. Determine this client’s weight in kg. (Round to the tenth.) STEP 1: What is the unit of measurement you need to calculate? kg STEP 2: Set up an equation and solve for X, with X representing the amount of kilograms. Cross multiply to solve for X. X = 43.6363 STEP 3: Round if necessary, using general rounding rules. You should also follow policies and procedures of your facility. For the purpose of this module, we will round to the tenth. Therefore, 43.6363 rounds to 43.6
