And I PASSED!
Omg! Congratulations to you! Thank you so much for the support ❤️

Thank you good to see you again! Hope all is well and thanks for posting I appreciate this 😊💖
Everything is good, ready for life to get back to normal. I’m over staying inside 😢
@@PharmacyTechLove Good to hear. Do you remember seeing this on the exam?
I got 111.11 for number six answer
Hmm…I’ll go back and look at it.
i did too
You explained the calculation very easily. Thank you very much!!!!
You’re welcome 😇
Always got mixed up with gtts/min problems. Your video made it easy to follow. Thano
Glad to help 🎊
You made this so easy for me thanks
Thank you.
Perfect now I understand
Wonderful!
Thank you so much
You’re very welcome 😊
So the rule 1ml=20 drops not applied here anywhere?
It’s not, sometimes it’s 15 gtts or 20 gtts, I wish it were universal.
Hey there!! Love these videos they are so helpful!!! I’m a bit confused some of them I got different answers like number 6 ( I got 111.11) and number 7 (I got 50) without rounding at all just calculating with the calculator. What am I do wrong?
I’ll take a look at it. I could’ve multiplied incorrectly.
@@PharmacyTechLove thank you I appreciate that !
Thank you so much for this video!!! I’m currently in school to become a pharmacy technician, and I’m overwhelmed with the pharmacology portion….. do you have any tips? Or would you be able to make a video about it?
Unfortunately I don’t teach this, there is a separate college course for that for future pharmacist.
Hey I have been watching your vedios for while and All of them are helpful, I want take my ptcb exam soon away advice that you can give me ?
Secondly, what you can do to decolop your career after certification?
Advice would be to be prepared, take practice tests.
these are so much simpler and easier to understand! but the way we do it is dimensional analysis which makes it a bit more complicated. I love your videos but I can't do it on my assignments because we gotta do dimensional analysis😞
Ohh noooo!
@@PharmacyTechLove I know😔 do you maybe chance can create a video of doing dimensional analysis
Thank you for the video. Look forward to more. Sent you an email.
Ok. I’m about to look now. I may have already answered it, but I’ll double check.
Alligations and conversions
I love your videos they explain so much but what if the problem does not have a time in it? Example A patient is getting D5W infused at 25 ML/Hr using a 15 drop set, what is the infusion rate?
Well on yours it does have a time. The problem states 25ml per hour, so that's the infusion rate. The patient will receive 25ml of D5W per hour. Now, if your wanting to know the drop rate that's different.
Everything depends on the question that's being asked in the problem. To get drops per minute (gtts/min) you would divide 25ml/60min * 15 gtts which would give you = 6.25 gtts/min. I normally don't answer questions in the comments, but my students are testing so I decided...Why not. (Let's check our answer----> If there's 15gtts/ml (drop factor) as you stated...15gtts/per ml * 25 ml =375 gtts total. 375 total gtts/6.25 gtts =60 min which is 1 hour. Final answer if asking gtts/minute is 6.25 gtts/min. Hope this helps.
IV drops as a RN and Technician-
Drops/min
50ml/60 * 60gtts=
Lactated Ringers
1liter/4 hrs
1000ml
4hrs*60=240mins
1000ml/240mins*30=125gtts
150ml/60*30gtts=75gtts
on #7 Q why answer is 49.99? I got 50. Also #8 also 50.
Well love, if you round 49.99 what do you think that comes up to?
