I was super confused as to how questions 2 and 3 were in the safe dose range but then I realized that the orders for both patients fell within the low and high ranges! Great video as always, thank you!

question for #2. Could you just find the low & high by figuring out the wt in kg (10lb/2.2=4.54= 4.5kg) and then multiplying the 4.5kg by the high & low? 4.5kg x 1.5mg/kg = 6.75/2=3.375 = 3.4mg 4.5kg x 2.5mg/kg= 11.25/2 = 5.62=5.6mg

Amie Krake, yes, that is what we walk through in the dimensional analysis we set up. :) We always recommend doing dimensional analysis for every problem to be sure you are doing it correctly each time, even if it is a somewhat simple calculation. I hope that helps to clarify it for you. Have a fantastic day! :)

Yea but are the child is safe at the low dose not the high, right? It’s determined by her weight, right? High dose isn’t safe, right because it’s more than how much she weighs, right?

Question #2: what happened to the 4mg?
@NursingSOS
3 жыл бұрын
Bisayangchinita, We are solving in problem 2 to see if the dose is safe, so we would go by the 1.5- 2.5mg/kg/day, and then solve for the safe dose range and make sure the 4mg BID would fall within that safe dose range. So we solved to get our low end of a safe dose would be 3.4mg/dose and the high end would be 5.68mg/dose, so 4mg/dose falls right in there. I hope that helped to clarify it for you!

Hello, I have a question that’s asking what is the safe dosage range for the child that weighs 15kg and children dosage is 6.7- 13.3 mg/kg q8h? Do I still calculate per day?
@NursingSOS
2 жыл бұрын
Great question, ANAIS4114! 😊 So you will want to make sure that if you calculate the safe dosage per day you take into account the dosing frequency to make sure you convert that to per day as well, instead of every 8 hours. If you have matching units every 8 hours then it would be easiest to use that rather than converting it all to per day as long as your units align with what the question is asking for. I hope that helps to clarify it for you!

Tay Twyman for number 2 the dose is 4mg BID and safe range would be 1.5-2.5 mg/kg/day. So we would check what the safe range would be for his weight (mg/kg/day) for both the low and high, and then make sure our BID ordered dose falls within that range. I hope that helps to clarify it for you!

Ashley T. sure!! So we need to figure out if the dose, 4mg BID is safe for the patient. We solved for the highest dose the patient could receive and the lowest effective dose the patient could receive. Once we had those two numbers we needed to be sure that the dose that the patient was on was in between the low and the high, and it was so that dose is safe for that patient. I hope that helped to clarify it for you, friend! If you have any other questions, we are always available. :)

@NursingSOS

Taujah Wright, great question! In problem number 2 the question gives us a safe dose range per DAY, and question 3 gives us a safe dose range per dose. So depending on if the question provides you with a per dose or per day dosing you will have to solve based on that. I hope that helps to clarify it for you!

Great question, Jay Morgan! With question #3 the goal is figuring out is 86mg is within the safe dose range (10-15mg/kg/day), so we wouldn't be including the 86 in a calculation, instead, just making sure it falls within the safe range.

Hey.For the question with Q6 hrs. I realized you never used it. Why didn't you divide it by 24 hrs to determine how much the patient doses the patient should get a day? Also, what do you compare to see if the doses are within the normal range.

Shadae Witter, great question. So what we are solving for is the mg per dose. Since the order is in mg/kg/dose that unit matches so we don't need to do any further conversions. If the order was in mg/kg/DAY then you would have to do another conversion to get to the mg/dose. I hope that helps to clarify it for you!

If the problem was asking for a specific range then we would have to be more specific with following rounding rules, but since we are trying to solve to figure out of the dose falls within a safe range we know we don't have to continue rounding because we can see the ordered dose is well within that range. We will also be more clear with our rounding guidelines going forward. Thanks so much for being here, De'ja Griffin!
