after all the measurement systems of weight volume and length let's now learn about temperature conversions between celsius and farenheit this skill is essential for a few reasons proper storage of medications is crucial for maintaining their efficacy and safety many medications such as insulin and vaccines require precise temperature control knowing how to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit ensures you can accurately interpret storage requirements regardless of the unit of measurement provided there are two main formulas in temperature conversions to find the degrees in Fahrenheit multiply the degrees in celsius by 95s and then add 32 and second to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius subtract 32 from the temperature in Fahrenheit and then multiply by 5 9ths remember that the use of a simple non-advanced calculator is allowed in the pharmacy and one will be provided to you for your certification exam so you can use this tool to help you solve these problems let's look at some examples insulin should be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2 cels and 8 C let's convert these temperatures to Fahrenheit step one convert 2° celsius to fahrenheit using the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit first multiply 2 by 9 F which gives us 3.6 then add 32 to the result 3.6 + 32 = 35.6 so 2° C is equivalent to 35.6 De F step two convert 8° C to Fahrenheit using the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit first multiply 8 by 9 fths which gives us 14.4 then add 32 to the result 14.4 + 32 = 46.4 so 8° C is equivalent to 46.4 de F therefore insulin should be stored between 35.6 de F and 46.4 de F let's do another example a moxacin suspension should be stored in a refrigerator at 36° F to 46 Dees fah let's convert these temperatures to Celsius step one convert 36° fah to Celsius first subtract 32 from 36 which gives four then multiply the result by 5 9th which is approximately 2.22 so 36° f is approximately 2.22 de C step two convert 46° Fahrenheit to degre Cel first subtract 32 from 46 to get 14 then multiply the result by 5 9ths so 14 * 5 9 is approximately 7.78 so 46° fenhe is approximately 7.78 de C in Celsius scale amoxicillin suspension should be stored between 2.22 and 7.78 the fiser biente co9 vaccine should be stored in a freezer at -70° C can you convert this temperature to Fahrenheit you can pause the video to solve using the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit first multiply -70 by 9 F which equals to16 then add 32 to the the result so -126 + 32 = 94 so -70° C is equivalent to 94° F therefore the fiser bch covid-19 vaccine should be stored at94 degrees fah understanding temperature conversions is critical for maintaining the efficacy and safety of medications always ensure that you store drugs within their recommended temperature ranges
