About this listen

Focused on safe and accurate drug dosage calculations for nursing and healthcare professionals. The material covers critical aspects of medication administration, emphasizing patient safety through adherence to guidelines like the Six Rights of Medication Administration. Key topics include systems of measurement (metric and household), dosage calculation methods (ratio and proportion, dimensional analysis, and formula), and the verification of medication orders, particularly for oral, parenteral (injections), and intravenous (IV) routes. Furthermore, the text addresses special considerations for vulnerable populations, such as pediatric and geriatric patients, and the importance of understanding drug-specific warnings like REMS and Black Box Warnings, alongside professional practices like labeling reconstituted medications and titrating IV drips.
