Weight Based IV Infusions: Dosage Calculation |

[@asariessien7556]

Thank you for the lesson, it's well illustrated. However, I noticed there is a mistake while calculating the ratio and proportion method 0.1 X 60= 6mL/hr and not 0.6mL

Thank you for this video! I was stumped on a dosage calc question and I finally understood it after trying your methods!

Wait for the first question. The answer to number 1a. I got 175mg because the question asked per dose. In the question it states the patient is ordered to get it every 12 hours. So I divided 350mg by 2.

I used to get confused with this also.... the question says they are getting the 5mg/kg over an hour every 12 hours. So the order is what they get every 12 hours... if you divide it by 2 they are only getting half the order, so you almost have to ignore the every 12 hours- its a distractor....
