I am in urgent need of help with med dosage. I attend an online school that has been of no help in this area. I will pay a tutor to assist me with at least 1 session. I know once I am explained the formulas this will all make sense. I really need something over FaceTime or the like. I attended a brick and mortar for all of my previous bachelors and pre-req's and this online thing has me stumped in this class. Thanks!
Ps. I am only stuck on the mg/kg/hr when ordered vs available really. Thanks again!

Check out YouTube. Simple nursing might have some videos and if they don't the links to other videos might help- here is a link to look into

Good day:
While I realize what I'm about to share isn't the same as a tutor session, here's what I recommend:
1. Practice does help increase perfection
2. Watch
3. In terms of using dimensional analysis, always ask yourself what is the desired ending units. These will typically be in gtts/min, ml/hr, mg/hr units/hr. Knowing that will help you in how you set up the formula.
Also, learn the rounding requirements of your school. For example, while dosagehelp.com accepted the answer in the picture as being correct, where I go to school, ml/HR and gtts/min are given in whole numbers (the answer for my school would be 29 mL/hr vs. 29.4 mL/hr in the picture).
Thank you.
Thank you. I will pm you tomorrow. I really appreciate your help
OK no problem at all I'm available all day tomorrow.
