Word Problem Setup & Translation

Why This Matters for Nursing: Real nursing math never comes as "solve 3x + 5 = 20." It comes as: "A patient receives 50 mL/hr. After 4 hours, they've received 350 mL total. What was the initial IV bag volume?" Translating words to math is THE essential skill.

What You Need to Know
