Med admin formulas

hi everyone,

just a quick question on formulas. i just want to know if d x q is the correct medication formula. h

also, the more zeros in front of the number the smaller the amount? or do i have it backwards. sorry....it's been a while.:uhoh21:

I have not heard of the DxQ, but maybe someone else here will know. Regarding the zero's...the more zeros behind the decimal, the smaller the number. Ex - 0.025mg is smaller than 0.25mg. But, on the other side of the decimal place it is just the opposite. Ex - 10 is bigger than 1. I know that was probably common sense, but thought i'd throw it in there.

I think what your asking about is D/H*Q which is desired or ordered amount over what you have on hand times quantity. For example is the MD orders 25mg medx and you have a 10ml vial with 50mg per 3ml that would be 25/50*3ml=1.5ml medx

0.0003 is much smaller than 0.03
