Math

After work yesterday some staff members had a snowball fight on the roof of city museum. There was a fire, beer and a 20 ft tall slide close to a 90 degree angle to sled down.


After a couple hours the cold got to us despite the beer and fire, so a couple of us headed out to the Bleeding Deacon, where we had a few more drinks.

I ended up going home at a decent hour because I had class in the morning so I took a shower and got in bed when I realized I had to complete a take-home math test about calculating proper medication dosages and turn it in no later than 8am...

Now, I don't mind math because it's logical, and logic makes sense. For the most part I can handle questions like this with a clear mind:

A 13 kg. child is admitted for meningitis. This child has a temperature of 103.4. She is going to receive p.o. acetaminophen to treat the fever. If the dosage range for acetaminophen is 10-15 mg/kg per dose q 4-6 hours, and the orders state “Tylenol, 160 mg po q 4-6 hr prn for temperatures above 101." What volume of acetaminophen elixir will the nurse administer?

Now, drink 6 beers and then try and figure this out.

It was a rough morning.
