► This video will guide nursing students through the crucial steps of calculating liquid medication dosages accurately and safely. In this lesson, we focus on interpreting medication orders, setting up ratios, and using proportions to ensure that your dosage calculations for liquid medications, like cough syrups, are precise and effective.
We start by explaining the essential concept of establishing a known ratio based on what you have on hand and matching it with the ordered medication. Through an example involving a fictional medication, ""CoughNot,"" we demonstrate how to convert dosages in mg/mL to achieve the correct amount in mL for administration. You’ll learn how to set up equations, cross-multiply, and verify results, ensuring accuracy with each calculation. The video emphasizes checking units and matching them on both sides of the equation to avoid errors, which is a key safety measure in clinical practice.
Designed specifically for nursing students and healthcare providers, this video also highlights the importance of verifying each calculation for patient safety. By the end, you'll have a strong grasp of how to handle liquid medication dosages using ratio and proportion, making you more confident in applying these skills in real-life scenarios. Dive into this lesson to enhance your dosage calculation skills and provide safe, precise care to your patients!
