Birke Lema yay! We are so happy to hear that this video helped you understand better. 😊 We can add this to our list of future topics to cover. If you are looking for more right now though, check out the dose calc box inside our shop: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/shop/ it is full of practice problems!
Natalie Firlik, great question!! You determine which goes on the top or the bottom based on the units. So you want to be able to cross off the units diagonally (like we did in the video), so if you had kg and you needed to get to lbs you would put lbs over kg, that way the kg on the top would cross off the kg on the bottom and you would be left with lbs. I hope that helps to clarify it for you, as you are going through the video, pay close attention to when we are crossing off units. They all line up and are able to be crossed off so we can end with the units we need. :) If you have any specific questions we are always available to help. The quickest way to get a response is through email at hello@nursingsos.com. :) Have a fantastic day, friend!
Kenisha Jackson, was it the dose calc cheat sheet link you were looking for: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/dosecalc or was it another link you were referring to? If you have any further trouble finding it you can always email us at hello@nursingsos.com and we can take a closer look for you too!
Great queston, Breanna Garcia! drip rate will be how many ml/hr and flow rate is going to be drops per minute in most cases. You would use the drip rate to help determine the flow rate. Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
Sage Ataina, just to clarify, you will round based on what the question is asking, but wait to round until the problem is fully solved. If you are solving for mL/hr you would typically round to the nearest whole number unless otherwise specified. I hope this helps to clarify it for you. :)
Great explanations! Thank you so much! What do I do if say, the heparin is running at 27ml/hr. like in the first problem but I need to increase it by a certain number of units per hr. what can I do for that? I really appreciate your help.
Great question, Russ Nurse2B! So you would solve the same way making sure your ending unit lines up with what you are solving for, and your conversions are able to cross out to get to that ending unit through dimensional analysis. I hope that helps clarify it for you! If you have any specific problems you are stuck on you can always email the question along with your work to hello@nursingsos.com and we can help! I hope you have a fantastic day! 😊

The only thing I keep getting confused with is what determines which numbers goes on the top versus the bottom.
Natalie Firlik, great question!! You determine which goes on the top or the bottom based on the units. So you want to be able to cross off the units diagonally (like we did in the video), so if you had kg and you needed to get to lbs you would put lbs over kg, that way the kg on the top would cross off the kg on the bottom and you would be left with lbs.

Exactly. How did you setup/plug in the problem? It would help if there was a formula to follow…
I don’t see your link

is there a difference between drip rate and flow rate?
Great queston, Breanna Garcia! drip rate will be how many ml/hr and flow rate is going to be drops per minute in most cases. You would use the drip rate to help determine the flow rate. Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
Without heparin calculations do you round or leave it as decimal value?
Sage Ataina, just to clarify, you will round based on what the question is asking, but wait to round until the problem is fully solved. If you are solving for mL/hr you would typically round to the nearest whole number unless otherwise specified. I hope this helps to clarify it for you. :)

Why show the answer at the bottom of the practice question?? Kinda ruins trying to figure it out on your own before seeing the answer....
Britt, thanks for the feedback, we will look into doing it differently in the future!
Ok its better now
Glad you are able to view it now! Thank you for being here! Have a fantastic day, Jeanie Stcyr! :)
Is the first answer 135 units/hr
@StarrBella83 the first answer would be 1350units/hr, try going through the math again making sure you don't round until the very end!
@@NursingSOSGot it! Thanks 😊
When you said you're so excited you seemed really excited, you've expressed it well. Hmm.
Thank you for being here, Francis Huberto Vasquez! 😊
Its blurry
If you click the gear icon and then select 1080 HD, it should be better :)
Where’s the rest of it ? Like mg/kg/min ect…. And the ones with titrations ? Video was way to short
I have all of those inside the NMC if you're interested! Here's the link for more details: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/join
