Medication dosage

Desired doseDose on hand×Quantity=Amount to give

Check: Align dose units before dividing.

IV drip rate

Volume (mL)×Drop factor (gtt/mL)Time (min)=Rate (gtt/min)

Check: Use the drop factor printed on the tubing.

Infusion duration

Volume remaining (mL)Rate (mL/hr)=Time (hr)

Check: Convert a decimal hour to minutes before documenting time.

Weight-based drip

Dose×Weight (kg)×60 min/hrConcentration=Rate (mL/hr)

Check: Convert the bag amount from mg to mcg first.
