For the last question, I am getting 1, not 0.5 because don't you take 0.5 x 2 to get 1? Because each ampule contains, 2mL? Help would be nice. Thanks in advance.

So it looks like you are having a little bit of trouble identifying the "vehicle". Essentially, who cares how many mL is in the ampule. Could be a 2ml ampule, or it could be a 30L bucket of haldol. The medication concentration is 10mg/ml. That means you get 10mg per each 1 milliliter. The 1ml is your vehicle, not the ampule they are giving you. Does that help?

@@RNKid Yes that helped tremendously! I questioned that. But I multiplied by 2 ml anyway. This mistake was the best thing ever. Thank you. GBU.

Don’t let it the extra information confuse you ..Set up is the same -(Dr. order)5 mg ....(On hand )10mg/ml....work your answer out....5mg÷10mg= 0.5mg (than) 0.5×1 ML= 0.5ml

thanks for this because understood WHY it was wrong and further understood how to arrive at right answer.
You just covered my whole semester in just one video. People like you are so much needed in Nursing schools. Thank you from the bottom of my soul for taking the time to explain this to us. May God bless you abundantly!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾

5ml divide by 10ml multiple by 1ml equal to 0.5 multiple by 1ml will be 0.5ml
Im in a medical assisting program, and were now studying dosage calculations. This was my first day and i never felt low in a class before. Everyone made sense of what was going on except for me and i was afraid of asking questions because i didn’t want to seem “slow”. I almost broke down in class, i came home around 9pm and i went straight to my notebook and looked at all the problems we did in class determined to make sense of it all i googled and found your video. Thankyouuu for making it so simple. Its almost like everything clicked once i looked back at my own questions. I failed algebra twice in High school and barely passed geometry. I hated anything to do with numbers. Im just glad there are channels that explain a-lot of this stuff. THANKYOU

Exactly what I have been going through till I came across your videos n this comment made me feel relaxed.❤❤❤❤
I switched jobs and part of the orientation process was to take a medication safety test of which half of the test was dosage calculation. I got in the middle of it today and completely failed it. I couldn't get my thoughts together on how to solve the problems. It's been a ton of years since I graduated from RN school and dosage calc always caused me a great deal of anxiety. I am retaking the test tomorrow. I realize what I did wrong by following your process. You are so much better than the other educators on youtube. Not to bash them but they don't take the time to slowly review the reason behind each step. Your process gives us all the confidence that we can do any problem. For the last problem: 5mg was my desired dose/10mg is my amount on hand x 1ml which was my vehicle. My answer was 0.5ML. I'm over 50 and I just thank God I found you. Thank you for helping me to become confident again with the dosage calc. Tonya
I’ve been a tech for 20 years . You explained this process better than anyone I’ve ever seen teach it ! Thank you !

I totally agree, I have been studying for my pharmacy technician exam and this has now made the questions totally understandable. Thank you
when I started nursing school in Jan. 2022, I didn't understand how it was taught in class because it didn't make sense to me. This is very simple to understand. I took a quiz today and got a A on it just by watching your video while I was on lunch break for one hour. I would highly recommend this if you are not good with math. Thank you for making this simple and making sense.

This has saved my life. Im going in to the hospital after several years in dr doctors offices, assisted living and home care. And of course they are torturing me with a pharmaceutical math test. I gave not done nursing math since 2009!!! Excellent demonstrations, technique and explaination. It's slowly coming back to me. Thank you! I highly recommend!
Thank you! I was a wreck trying to learn this before finding your videos! The lightbulb finally switched on! 5 mg/10 mg x 1 ml = 0.5 mg x 1 ml = 0.5 ml
I’m in paramedic school right now and I feel like they send us on our own to do figure out drug calculations so here I am. I’m sitting in the rig busting out these practice problems on a white board. Thank you these are helpful.

You keep it so easy n it feels like you are literally right next to me with yr pen and paper explaining everything perfectly. Keep up this great job
Yes yes yes please keep the nursing/ medical math coming you break it down and make it so EASY to solve!!!! Thx👍
I love this method! Omg when I training to be a tech, we were shown all of these off the wall ways of calculating and made it so confusing. Thank you for this tutorial!
I'm having such a hard time figuring these conversations. I must say thank you so much. I understand finally how to do the math now. The way you explain this is so helpful for me. I'm so glad I came across you.
my answer is 0.5 ml / you are an amazing teacher i have ever seen so far . Honestly , i have been waiting for something like this way of teaching . i wish more videos of this drug calculations from you , daily if possible .AND THANK YOU FROM MY BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

0.5mL for #11. Thank you so much for sharing this is genius! I couldn't get off of this video and I will share it with my fellow nursing students and I am definitely subscribing to your channel. Thanks again.
The great teacher of our time! I thank you immensely for your kindness and way of teaching 🙏 I keep on understanding your teachings sir. Am a student nurse. They answer to question 11 is= 0.5 Thanks ❣️
Thank you ! The best teacher ever!
Thank you ! New pharmacy Tech in training! I was struggling with this portion of math . This way make great sense to me ! Thank you
0.5..... thank u. I’m thinking about pharm tech. This kind open my eyes. Very good explanation.
0.5*2=1 mL and thank you so much for your page I'm a CNA I am a nursing school now and we're doing dosage calculations and I had to block out all the women in class and the teacher because the way they were doing it I already knew was going to fusing process for me so I said I was going to find somebody who would be able to calmly explain it because I knew that it was a simple process for complex action so thank you so much for your calmness and the way that you teach because you helped me at least understand what it is I'm going to be doing on my dosage calculation test thank you 💜🙏
The way you explained this is better than anyone else I have watch . Thanks 🙏
A million THANK YOU’s!! So easy to understand and I love the tone of your voice
Thank you so much. I graduated BSN without knowing anyting about this and I thank you for letting me understand on how to do it easily.
Can you make some on calculate the medications by weight.
I love this technique! Do you have any videos that show how to do the dosage calculations when a unit conversion is involved? For example, the medication is desired or ordered in grams however it is only available in milligrams?
I was so nervous until I watched your videos. Thank you!!!
I have a medication calculation test in an hour and your videos have definitelyyy helped me understand what to do. WISH ME LUCK!!!
I didn't understand it until you explained it now I think it's so easy and yes I'm following the formula all the steps. I'm studying for the excpt test thanks for all your help :-)

This video has been very helpful and it makes drug calculation interesting for me now
Your the best. Your so calmed , and that relaxes my brain a lot
0.5ml -> 5mg/10mg = 0.5 0.5x 1 ml = 0.5 ml or 1/2 ml 1)milligrams cancels out 2) take 0.5 multiply it by 1 milliliters 3) you get 0.5 milliliters or 1/2 of a milliter

thank you so much i appreciate your patience it's crazy how i mastered it quick and so easy how u explain thank you...!!!
Thank you! You make it easy to understand. I would like to see the calculation when you have to convert mg to g or g to mg.
I am enrolled in an RN program and will start August 17th, on the 11th of August I will have to take dosage calculation test and pass with 100% (their NEW requirement) and was completely dreading it; but you have made understanding this subject sooooo much easier, that now I am feeling more confident in this upcoming test. THANK YOU!!!! the only thing that worries me is that they require their students to do the math only one way, so I hope and pray, they will accept my work, following your prescribed method. In any case, Thank you again!!!

I wanted to say thanks. Your videos helped me a lot. I watched your flow rate video, dosage calculation, and drip rate video. I've never been good at math. Now I'm in nursing school and I had one math test, that determined whether I moved on to the next term. I passed with a 98, so HUGE Thanks.
