Hi there, in this question we have a client receiving medication and they're receiving one dose it says q4h.
00:15
So q4h means every four hours.
00:24
They're for one dose for every four hours.
00:29
So we have an equality there.
00:31
We also know we're only focusing on the acetaminophen here and we know that each dose contains 500 milligrams of the acetaminophen.
00:54
All right and we want to know how many grams of acetaminophen the client is receiving in 48 hours.
01:00
So we need to start with that value that we're given here, those 48 hours, and then we will use unit conversion, also known as dimensional analysis, to find our answer.
01:12
So what we're going to use are our equalities as conversion factors.
01:17
So for the first one i want to use one dose equals four hours and i want to put hours in the denominator so that that you know cancel and one dose goes in the numerator.
01:31
So hours cancel.
01:33
Now we can use our second equality here as a conversion factor because in each dose there are 500 milligrams of the acetaminophen.
01:59
All right so if we're to solve this right now we would have an answer in milligrams but the question asks how many grams...
