MATHS play a significant role in nursing, be it , basic maths( addition subtraction multiplication division,) used in calculating doses of drugs, statistics for those who work in the public health and epidemiology fields, or geometry.
In order to calculate proper dossing, driping time and in order to give proper correct medication to the patient it is neccessary for a nurse to have a god knowledge of mathematics.
talking about geometry
geometry is used to calculate the children's body mass. It helps them to determine if the children is underweight, overweight or in a normal weight
,Geometry is not used as often as algebra or basic arithmetic, but is helpful when working with orthopedic patients or when using some medical equipment. If a nurse is inserting an IV line, for example, he must insert it at the correct angle to ensure it pierces the vein and delivers medication to the bloodstream. An orthopedic nurse may have to position his patient's limbs at certain angles to ensure they heal properly after joint replacement surgery.
a syringe is in the shape of cylinder, volume of cylinder is give by , area of base(in the form a circle) * height
v The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=B(area of base) *h
or V=πr2h . (pi r square h)
