Activity 1.1
Add up the following:
1. 2+3=5 tablets
2. 2+2 +1=5 caplets
Page 4
3.2 mL+ 5 mL= 7 mL
4.2+1=3 tablets
2+2=4 capsules
Total:2+1+2+2=7 medicines
5.5 mL+2.5 mL=7.5 mL
Page 6
Activity 1.2
Calculate the following:
1.5-2=3 tablets
2.4-3=1 caplet
3.2 mL -1.4 mL =0.6 mL
4.8-5=3 capsules
5. 200-5.5 mL=194.5 mL
Page 8
Activity 1.3
Multiply the following:
1. 3×10=30 tablets
Page 9
2. 24×3=72 caplets
3. 2×2=4 mL
Page 10
4. 10 mL+15 mL=25 mL
Page 11
Activity 1.4
Divide the following:
1.60 doses÷2 puffs per day = 30 days
Page 12
2.200 mL÷20 mL=10 days
3.10 mL÷2 mL doses= 5 doses
Page 13
4.100 mL÷10 mL per hour = 10 hours
5.100 mL÷50 mL per hour = 2 hours
Page 15
Activity 1.5
Calculate the following:
1. BMI = (weight in kilograms)/(height in metres^2 )
BMI = 132kg/(1.7m^2 )
BMI = 132kg/(1.7m × 1.7m)
BMI = 132kg/2.89
BMI = 45.67
2. BMI = (weight in kilograms)/(height in metres^2 )
BMI = 77kg/(1.6m^2 )
BMI = 77kg/(1.6 × 1.6)
BMI = 77kg/2.56
BMI = 30.08
3. BMI = □((weight in kilograms)/(height in metres^2 ))
BMI = □(85kg/(1.8m^2 ))
BMI = □(85kg/(1.8 × 1.8))
BMI = 85kg/3.24
BMI = 26.23
4. CrCl (mL/min) = ((140-age)× weight (kg))/(0.814 ×serum creatinine (micromol/L) )
CrCl (mL/min) = ((140-80)× 57 (kg))/(0.814 × 465 (micromol/L) )
CrCl (mL/min) = ((60)× 57 (kg))/(0.814 × 465 (micromol/L) )
CrCl (mL/min) = 3420/(378.5 )
CrCl (mL/min) = 9.04 mL/minute

1.
4 ×8 =32
32+1 =33
8 1/4= 33/4
2. 2 15/16
16 ×2 =32
32+15 =47
2 15/16= 47/16
3. 33 1/2
