Frequently used in Pediatrics safe dose range utilizes the patients weight to determine whether the prescribed amount of medication can be given safely.
Just to clarify: when I say do the math/put it in your calculator I mean multiply the numerator (top numbers), then multiply your denominator (bottom numbers). Then divide the numerator total by the denominator total.
Hello I have a question for question #3 I am getting confused when you are multiplying the kgxml how are you getting your answer with q4-q6? thank you for your time.
Then you need to know the safest amount a person can take. It should say in the question or if its a common med like Tylenol it might expect you to know is 4000mg/24 hours.
This video was very helpful! My question is only if a question specifies mg/dose do you get that as the SDR or do you do mg/dose only with divided dose problems?
okay, smarty pants. Let's see you figure this one out. Spoiler alert!! The answer is 49 tablets. Prove to your viewers, you know how to get to this answer..."How many chloramphenicol capsules, each containing 250 mg of chloramphenicol, are needed to provide 25 mg/kg/day of body weight for 1 week for a person weighing 154 lb.? You don't have to make a video for it, just solve it in writing. Sorry I threw you a tough challenge!! Hee hee hee!Single choice.
154lbs/2.2kg=70kg 70kgx25mg/day=1,750mg 1,750mgx7 days=12,250mg 12,250mg/250mg=49 tabs needed for 1-week. Or the easy way--- 49 tabsx250mg=12,250mg/250mg=49 tabs. Where do we meet so you can buy me a beer or several? HaHa, thanks for the challenge!

If you look at the question it's actually mg/kg/q4-6h so it's written as the kg × q4-6h in the denominator
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video!
You are welcome 😊
Thank you
What if you don't have a minimum and max but just a dose and it's asking if it's safe ?
Then you need to know the safest amount a person can take. It should say in the question or if its a common med like Tylenol it might expect you to know is 4000mg/24 hours.
When there is a mg/kg/24hr problem, is that the same as per day?
Yes
@@thatnursingprof2661 Thank you!

do you give that as the SDR*
How is 27.6 mg too high while the ordered dose is 35mg? Am lost there
Exactly what i asked myself right now. Am just viewing the video.
same could someone explain??
yes, i want to know!
@@ifeomaglory3874 what she meant is.....the dose 35mg is too high in that range ( it exceed the maximum range which is 27.6)
She must be from Upstate, NY with the accent haha

154lbs/2.2kg=70kg
70kgx25mg/day=1,750mg
1,750mgx7 days=12,250mg
12,250mg/250mg=49 tabs needed for 1-week.
Or the easy way--- 49 tabsx250mg=12,250mg/250mg=49 tabs.
