NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 57: Medication Calculations: Dimensional Analysis, Weight-Based Dosing, IV Drip Rates, and Pediatric Doses

Sarah Mitchell works dosage calculations out loud the way they appear on exam day: the six conversions to memorize, desired over have and dimensional analysis, weight-based pediatric dosing with safe range checks, milliliters per hour and drops per minute, infusion time, heparin and insulin drips, and micrograms per kilogram per minute. She closes with the rounding rules and two worked problems, an unsafe acetaminophen order and a weight-based heparin rate.
