Best Answer

You use math everyday in nursing. Injections are measured in cc's and

must be exact. Pulse rates are counted as how many beats in a minute.

The easiest way to do this is to count the beats in 15 seconds and

multiply x four= 60 seconds. These are just two ways of which there are many more.
