In addition to buying a dosage calculation book, you may want to visit the following online dosage calculations tutorial: http://www.dosagehelp.com/ This website explains essential types of dosage calculations, has step-by-step examples, and includes helpful practice problems. It's a free and handy way to brush up on nursing dosage calculations. There are tons of other online resources for nursing math, that one just happens to be my favorite. Here's a link to a very useful list of helpful weblinks posted by Daytonite: https://allnurses.com/forums/2520769-post3.html

The question here is asking for you to determine how much liquid to give. It is not asking for a rate at which to administer it. It is possible for a question to ask first how much liquid to give and then to determine a rate at which to give it. This is definitely something you should be able to do, but not for this problem.

You can use the formula: (Ordered/Have) * Volume_Per_Have = Liquid Required Ordered: 6.26 mg Have: 25mg Volume_Per_have: 1mL (6.25 mg / 25 mg) * 1 mL = 0.25 mL Your answer is correct! Great job! =) I suggest you take a look at the entire tutorial for dosage calculations at www.dosagehelp.com There are also practice questions (with explanations for whatever you get wrong) that you may want to try.

This is an IV flow rate calculation. Use the following formula: Volume(mL) / Time (hr) = Flow Rate (mL/hr) Convert 30 min to hrs: 30/60 = 0.5 hrs Plug into formula: 50 mL / 0.5 hrs = 100 mL/hr For more information about iv flow rate calculations and to see other example problems, see: http://www.dosagehelp.com/iv_rate_ml.html
