For problems involving adult patients, the answer will be rounded to the nearest tenth. Although some IV pumps do not allow calibration to the tenth or hundredth, for the purpose of this exam, IV rate calculations will be rounded to the nearest whole drop (gt/min) or to the nearest whole number IV (ml/hr). To promote safety, a zero must be placed to the left of the decimal point in answers that are less than one. No zero is allowed to the right of the decimal point in answers that are whole numbers. For example, 0.5 mg must be answered as 0.5 mg and 5 mg must be answered as 5 mg. A nurse is calculating the protein needs of a client who is a physical trainer.
