Thank you for this video! I was stumped on a dosage calc question and I finally understood it after trying your methods!

Thank you for the lesson, it's well illustrated.

However, I noticed there is a mistake while calculating the ratio and proportion method

0.1 X 60= 6mL/hr and not 0.6mL

[bonnielyon]

Wait for the first question. The answer to number 1a. I got 175mg because the question asked per dose. In the question it states the patient is ordered to get it every 12 hours. So I divided 350mg by 2.
