Dosage (Med Admin)

Thats what I got. And thank you for working the problemishes, and not just posting the question and waiting for an answer.

Thanks chare! Of course, if I posted expecting an answer, I would not learn anything. Math and Meds, very important. Want to learn. Thanks again for the comment.

My only suggestion would be to use the 1oz = 30cc conversion, and then you can do it in your head on the fly. I&Os are rarely calculated down to the fraction of a cc unless you're working with really small people (who wouldn't be taking pills anyway).

And you get a kudos (yeah, it's a singular noun that ends in s) for presenting your work without being asked or pitching a fit when asked to. Come around any time!

Are you saying use0.5oz as 15 m:.. cc are not used now.

Yes, in practice practice most people do.

Regarding the use of cc, many of us who have been around a while still do this so this is something that you are going to see and heat in the clinical setting.

I agree with AliNajaCat..

12 x.5 = 6oz; 6oz x 30mL/1oz=180mL; 1100mL- 180mL= 920mL/3= 306.7mL per meal

I literally never knew that 1 oz wasn't just plain old 30ml. Mind. Blown.

Even my 3 kg babies don't get their intake measured out to the 5th decimal point. I might chart that their medication was 1.2ml, but by the end of the day I am giving you their total I/Os without fractions.
