Weight-Based Dosage Calculations Desired-Over-Have Nursing School NCLEX Review

Weight-Based dosage calculation practice problems for nursing students and nurses using the "desired over have" formula method made simple and easy.

This video includes weight-based nursing math practice problems and a free quiz below to review for NCLEX, nursing school exams, and for nurses.

Weight-based calculations usually involve first converting the patients weight from pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg). Next, we must plug the problem into our formula to solve.

Again, there are many techniques to solve dosage calculations in nursing school. This video covers the "desired over have" formula method, but students can also use dimensional analysis, ratio proportions, and other methods.

Always follow your school or facility's preferred method, as well as their rounding rules when solving medical / nursing math.
