Answer:
1) Miscalculating doses is a common source of drug errors. This article explains how to calculate drug doses and highlights common errors. After reading it, you can undertake the Nursing Times learning unit Drug Calculations in Practice, which includes clinical scenarios to test your knowledge
2. Why is the dosage for someone younger than you less than your dosage?
Answer:
because their bodies can tolerate less The lower the dosage, the younger the patient. The dosage cannot be reduced because it will have no effect or will lose its effectiveness. It also cannot be increased because it may result in an overdose.
3. Dosage calculations
Answer:
There are 3 primary methods for calculation of medication dosages; Dimensional Analysis, Ratio Proportion, and Formula or Desired Over Have Method. We are going to explore the Desired Over Have or Formula Method, one of these 3 methods, in more detail.
Desired Over Have or Formula Method uses a formula or equation to solve for an unknown quantity (x) much like ratio proportion.
Drug calculations require the use of conversion factors, for example, when converting from pounds to kilograms or liters to milliliters. Simplistic in design, this method allows clinicians to work with various units of measurement, converting factors to find the answer. These methods are useful in checking the accuracy of the other methods of calculation, thus acting as a double or triple check.

Preparation
When clinicians are prepared and know the key conversion factors, they will be less anxious about the calculation involved. This is vital to accuracy, regardless of which formula or method employed.
Conversion Factors
1 kg = 2.2 lb
1 gallon = 4 quart
1 tsp = 5 mL
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 L = 1,000 mL
1 kg = 1,000 g
1 oz = 30 mL = 2 tbsp
1 g = 1,000 mg
1 mg = 1,000 mcg
1 cm = 10 mm
1 tbsp = 15 mL
1 cup = 8 fl oz
1 pint = 2 cups
12 inches = 1 foot
1 L = 1.057 qt
1 lb = 16 oz
1 tbsp = 3 tsp
60 minute = 1 hour
1 cc = 1 mL
2 pints = 1 qt
8 oz = 240 mL = 1 glass
1 tsp = 60 gtt
1 pt = 500 mL = 16 oz
1 oz = 30 mL
4 oz = 120 mL (Casey, 2018).
Technique
There are 3 primary methods for the calculation of medication dosages, as referenced above. These include Desired Over Have Method or Formula, Dimensional Analysis and Ratio and Proportion (as cited in Boyer, 2002)[Lindow, 2004].

4. if the daily dosage of ampicillin for treating an ear infection is 50 mg per kg of body weight ,what is the recommended dosage for a 10 kg child with such illness
Answer:
2 g or 50 mg/kg IV/IM within 30-60 minutes before procedure in patients not allergic to penicillin and unable to take oral amoxicillin
Genitourinary and gastrointestinal tract procedures
Routine prophylaxis for GI/GU procedures no longer recommended by AHA; consider only patients with highest risk of adverse outcome from endocarditis (eg, prosthetic heart valve, previous endocarditis, some categories of congenital heart disease, cardiac valvulopathy in cardiac transplant patients) with established GI or GU enterococcal infection or for those already receiving antibiotic therapy to prevent a wound infection or sepsis associated with GI or GU procedure in which enterococcal coverage is desired
High-risk patients: 2 g IV/IM within 30 min prior to procedure, followed by ampicillin 1 g (or amoxicillin 1 g orally) 6 hr later, must be used in combination with gentamicin
Moderate-risk patients: 2 g IV/IM within 30 min prior to procedure

Answer:
Calculate the dose of amoxicillin suspension in mLs for otitis media for a 1-yr-old child weighing 22 lb. The dose required is 40 mg/kg/day divided BID and the suspension comes in a concentration of 400 mg/5 mL.
Step 1. Convert pounds to kg: 22 lb × 1 kg/2.2 lb = 10 kg
Step 2. Calculate the dose in mg: 10 kg × 40 mg/kg/day = 400 mg/day
Step 3. Divide the dose by the frequency: 400 mg/day ÷ 2 (BID) = 200 mg/dose BID
Step 4. Convert the mg dose to mL: 200 mg/dose ÷ 400 mg/5 mL = 2.5 mL BID
Calculate the dose of ceftriaxone in mLs for meningitis for a 5-yr-old weighing 18 kg. The dose required is 100 mg/kg/day given IV once daily and the drug comes prediluted in a concentration of 40 mg/mL.
Step 1. Calculate the dose in mg: 18 kg × 100 mg/kg/day = 1800 mg/day
Step 2. Divide the dose by the frequency: 1800 mg/day ÷ 1 (daily) = 1800 mg/dose
Step 3. Convert the mg dose to mL: 1800 mg/dose ÷ 40 mg/mL = 45 mL once daily
Calculate the dose of vincristine in mLs for a 4-yr-old with leukemia weighing 37 lb and is 97 cm tall. The dose required in 2 mg/m2 and the drug comes in 1 mg/mL concentration.
Step 1. Convert pounds to kg: 37 lb × 1 kg/2.2 lb = 16.8 kg
Step 2. Calculate BSA: √16.8 kg × 97 cm/3600 = 0.67 m2
Step 3. Calculate the dose in mg: 2 mg/m2 × 0.67 m2 = 1.34 mg
Step 4. Calculate the dose in mL: 1.34 mg ÷ 1 mg/mL = 1.34 mL

7. medicine dosages are age specific true or false
Answer:true
Explanation:Because,children has a small throat so that you need to dosage how big the tablets or capsules and even syrup
8. what is dosage calculations? mean
Answer:
A dose is a measured quantity of a medicine, nutrient, or pathogen which is delivered as a unit. The greater the quantity delivered, the larger the dose. Doses are most commonly measured for compounds in medicine. The term is usually applied to the quantity of a drug or other agent administered for therapeutic purposes, but may be used to describe any case where a substance is introduced to the body. In nutrition, the term is usually applied to how much of a specific nutrient is in a person's diet or in a particular food, meal, or dietary supplement. For bacterial or viral agents, dose typically refers to the amount of the pathogen required to infect a host. For information on dosage of toxic substances, see Toxicology. For information on excessive intake of pharmaceutical agents, see Drug overdose.

13. What is the dosage of insulin and ibuprofen?
Answer:
Use ibuprofen exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Use the lowest dose that is effective in treating your condition.
An ibuprofen overdose can damage your stomach or intestines. The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses).
A child's dose is based on the age and weight of the child. Carefully follow the dosing instructions provided with children's ibuprofen for the age and weight of your child. Ask a doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
Take ibuprofen with food or milk to lessen stomach upset.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) before you measure a dose. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
You must chew the chewable tablet before you swallow it.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freezer.
14. what is the result of INACURATE dosage given to a patient ?
Answer:
A medication error is a failure in the treatment process that leads to, or has the potential to lead to, harm to the patient. Medication errors can occur in deciding which medicine and dosage regimen to use (prescribing faults—irrational, inappropriate, and ineffective prescribing, underprescribing, overprescribing); writing the prescription (prescription errors); manufacturing the formulation (wrong strength, contaminants or adulterants, wrong or misleading packaging); dispensing the formulation (wrong drug, wrong formulation, wrong label); administering or taking the medicine (wrong dose, wrong route, wrong frequency, wrong duration); monitoring therapy (failing to alter therapy when required, erroneous alteration). They can be classified, using a psychological classification of errors, as knowledge-, rule-, action- and memory-based errors. Although medication errors can occasionally be serious, they are not commonly so and are often trivial. However, it is important to detect them, since system failures that result in minor errors can later lead to serious errors. Reporting of errors should be encouraged by creating a blame-free, non-punitive environment. Errors in prescribing include irrational, inappropriate, and ineffective prescribing, underprescribing and overprescribing (collectively called prescribing faults) and errors in writing the prescription (including illegibility). Avoiding medication errors is important in balanced prescribing, which is the use of a medicine that is appropriate to the patient's condition and, within the limits created by the uncertainty that attends therapeutic decisions, in a dosage regimen that optimizes the balance of benefit to harm. In balanced prescribing the mechanism of action of the drug should be married to the pathophysiology of the disease.
