ATI DOSAGE CALCULATION PRACTICE

FIVE STAR RATED

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.
