Thank you, this helped a lot... I have been away from nursing school for a few years now and returned in January to finish my RN degree, and our dosage calculations test is tomorrow, but I pretty much forgot all of the math over the last few years, lol. I appreciate the help more than you know. This has been a great refresher, it's all coming back to me now.
If you are use to 12mg x 1kg x 22lbs x 5ml = 1320 Divided = 3ml It make sense that 24/3 =8hour so 1ml per dose. kg 2.2lbs 1 200mg = 440

I think it would help if you didn’t skip steps so we can understand how you derived at answer. The last problems you didn’t show dividing the Lbs to Kg is 10 then you multiply times 12 equals 120.

Because you can just multiply all numerators and then all denominators and then divide that new numerator by the new denominator and you’d get the same answer. (22 x 1 x 12) 264 ------- = --- = 120 (2.2 x 1) 2.2 It’s really all the same. Breaking it down could cause you to end too early giving you a wrong answer.

I think from lbs to kg you first divide by 2.2 then do your calculation.

To calculate the amount to administer per dose, follow these steps: 1. Convert the child’s weight from pounds to kilograms:  2. Calculate the total daily dose:  3. Divide the daily dose into doses every 8 hours: There are 3 doses in a day (24 hours ÷ 8 hours = 3 doses), so:  4. Determine how many mL correspond to 40 mg: The available concentration is 200 mg in 5 mL, so:  Cross-multiply and solve for :  Thus, you need to administer 1 mL per dose.

The question where the answer comes out to 20.45 and we round to the nearest tenth, how did it become 20.5 instead of 20.4
@LevelUpRN
3 жыл бұрын
When rounding to the nearest tenth the 5 in the hundredths spot is why the 4 is rounded up to a 5. The answer was 20.45 so you must look at all the numbers to see if rounding is necessary. If the answer was 20.44 the answer would have stayed 20.4, no rounding needed. I hope this is helpful.
