If you post questions here, there are several members willing to help.  All most of us ask is for you to post your work, and show what you have done in trying to solve the problem.  Doing so allows us to see where you are having problems and better help you solve the problem.  

@bjwojcik, a retired pharmacist and former member on this site, posted a book he wrote, as well as other helpful resources here:

 Although the book was written for pharmacy technicians, much of the information is pertinent and helpful for nurses as well.

Best wishes.

ETA: If you view his previous posts, many contain helpful information as well.

Oh! I have the dosage calc for nursing students book by him! It's great. I did have to watch a video to actually see the steps in action, but it's a great learning tool.

Read the stem of the question carefully. Often there are other factors that hve nothing whatsoever to do with the desired outcome, but they throw in a a few extra numbers to see if you can discern what applies and what doesn't.

I really like the  "go with what you know" approach, because it's foolproof and you can set it up backwards or upside down and still get the right answer. If you have a two-step problem, you do that next, same way.
