Omg, sending ALL OF THE VIBES! You've got this!! Best recommendation: study your areas that make you anxious right before you go in, and when they seat you they provide you with a pencil and some paper, use the first 5-10 minutes and jot down everything you can think of on the topics that make you anxious, and then take your test nice and comfortable, with your study guide you just made :). Review your answers before submitting the test in case you accidentally picked an obvious wrong answer- I caught 2 on my test!! Wishing you the best!!

Love your videos, but wanted to point out that at the end of the first CRI dilution at 6:37, to sum it up, you accidentally said "we need ***0.72 mL Ketamine and 3.928 mL diluent..." when you should have said .072 mL Ketamine. Thank you for what you do!
Is there a way you can break down and explain how to dilute KCL?

Hello! Absolutely! So KCL is notoriously confusing to people since it's concentration is meq/mL, and meq is something that we don't really use aside from this 1 scenario. But if you think about it in terms of "It is just a concentration, same as mg/mL", it becomes so simple. SO let's say your DVM orders LRS with 20meq KCL/L. If this were a drug and it was mg/L, you would just divide the dose by the concentration, right? We just do the same thing here! So since KCL's concentration is typically 20meq/10mL, or 2meq/mL, we will divide our dose by the concentration: 20meq(dose) divided by 2meq/mL (concentration) = 10mL, so you'd add 10mL to your bag. A simple/cheater way would be to simply divide the number of meq you need by 2, and it'll give you your answer every time ---Disclaimer to ALWAYS confirm your concentration before drawing up KCL as giving too much can be fatal. I hope this helped, but please let me know if not and I can definitely help you with it! Thanks for watching!
