How many tablets should be administered? Divide the prescribed dose by the dose of the tablets that are in stock. Add together the dose of each tablet until they add up to the required dose. Then count up how many tablets have been added together.

Step one: Set up ratios. Step two: Multiply means and extremes Step three: Solve for “x” algebraically. Use drug calculations when calculating the quantity of medications needed for a patient and the strength of medication is already known.

Three primary methods for calculation of medication dosages exist; Dimensional Analysis, Ratio Proportion, and Formula or Desired Over Have Method. We are going to explore the Ratio-Proportion Method, one of these three methods, in more detail. Clinicians must define a ratio and proportion.

Recommended maximum infusion rate for first infusion. If weight falls between two increments, round down and use rates specified for that weight or calculate hourly infusion rates by using the following formula: Rate (mL/kg/min) x Weight (kg) x 60 min/hr = Hourly infusion rate (mLs/hr).

Use the following equations: flow rate (mL/hr) = total volume (mL) ÷ infusion time (hr) infusion time (hr) = total volume (mL) ÷ flow rate (mL/hr) total volume (mL) = flow rate (mL/hr) × infusion time (hr)

Use the following equations: flow rate (mL/hr) = total volume (mL) ÷ infusion time (hr) infusion time (hr) = total volume (mL) ÷ flow rate (mL/hr) total volume (mL) = flow rate (mL/hr) × infusion time (hr)

If you simply need to figure out the infusion rate, or the mL per hour to infuse, take the total volume in mL, divided by the total time in hours that the medication is ordered to be infused over, to equal the rate in mL per hour.

Step-by-step, students learn how to accurately calculate drug dosages using all four methods—linear ratio and proportion, fractional ratio and proportion, dimensional analysis, and the formula method.

D/H x Q = x, or Desired dose (amount) = ordered Dose amount/amount on Hand x Quantity.

D/H x Q = x, or Desired dose (amount) = ordered Dose amount/amount on Hand x Quantity.

A basic formula, solving for x, guides us in the setting up of an equation: D/H x Q = x, or Desired dose (amount) = ordered Dose amount/amount on Hand x Quantity.
