So glad you found it useful. Medication math can cause a lot of anxiety and it does not have to be that way. Stay safe and use a system that makes sense for you :)
Great explanation!! In the Solu-Cortef problem at minute 6:20, is the IV drip factor of 10 gtts/ml, information that is not needed? I noticed it is not part of the solution, just wondering what it is there for. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work you do.
@@esmes9708 she did it correctly. The gtts/ml is just extra info to throw you off. It's not needed to do the equation. She needed the infusion rate for the pump in ml/hr which is why she converted the minutes into hours.
for the last question, the rate is 200ml/hr but if im using 100 ml of NS how can i administer all 200 ml, and if its to be infused in 30 minutes why is it mL per hour :( please answer, nursing student here...
Ml per hour is how Iv solutions are infused and programmed on a pump. I am unclear on your question- if you are using 100 ml - and you are infusing it over 30 min, you will program the pump at 200 ml/hour (this insures 100 ml is delivered in 30 min). There is no additional 100 ml to infuse.
I seem to miss something on the last two problems. Why calculate ml/hr? When its only supposed to be infused under 15min and 30 mins? Dont we need to compute for ml/min then?
good vid. think your last one was a bit complicated tho- if its 30 mins given and you need per hour you only need to double both sides. 100ml in 30min = 200ml/hour.
I am assuming you want to verify the rate. You would do your math calc, and then if it is a gravity fed line (no pump), do a 10 to 15 second count (drips). If it is a pump, chase the line from the patients (for either type) to the bag and make sure the pump is programmed correctly
Thanks a lot, Ma'am. You clarified it.
Yeah!
First time I understood the clock method with infusions, thank you!
🙌
Im taking pharmacy technician classes and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you! 💙
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Means a lot
Thank you so much this really helped me bring everything back to remembrance, praying I pass my exam om Friday.
You got this!
thank you lady i passed my quiz :D
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
you explained this so much easier than my textbook, I finally have a way to remember a simple equation with an easy flow of steps! Thank you :)
Woohoo!!
You are live saver Tammy. Thank you for the videos
Joyce Sekalala- happy to help :)
Thank you, this was a very helpful video. Great job👏
😎
Thanks for this video, very much appreciated!
😊
You were alot of help! Thank you
Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it
Great video. Easy to follow, understand and helped enhance my use of dimensional analysis. Goal achieved!
Super simple to follow along and understand, thanks for the video.
Simple and easy to follow! thank you.

Thank you
You are welcome
Thanks you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to write. I appreciate it
truly amazing..
Thanks!

Yes. There will be math questions that give you more info than you need. Learning how to solve the problems will guide what info you do need
@@NurseMinder you didn’t add the 10gtts/ml but instead said 15 hours. I think that was a mistake, can you please review it.

@@Littleone124 oh okay thank you
@@Littleone124 How do you know when the question is fluff and added info?
Thank you so much 💯💪
No problem 👍

BGM at the beginning 😊
I seem to miss something on the last two problems. Why calculate ml/hr? When its only supposed to be infused under 15min and 30 mins? Dont we need to compute for ml/min then?
Yes. We still use ml/ hour so we can program the pump correctly (they also have ml/hr programming)
On the quiz IV infusion rate, I an confused how you got your answer. Can you please break that down for me?!
What is the question? Can you put it here
1000 ml of 5% Dextrose in water, every 12 hours, tubing drop factor is 20 gtts/ml ? How would I do this ?? Please help :)
What are you solving for? If you need flow rate it is ml/hr - 1000 ml / 12 hr
good vid. think your last one was a bit complicated tho- if its 30 mins given and you need per hour you only need to double both sides. 100ml in 30min = 200ml/hour.
Great share
What if its like an hour and a half?
Use volume in ml /90 min x 60 min/1 hr = ml/hr
I remember from school that you have to round drops but isnt there a calculation that you dont round?
only round at the end of your equation
What if I'm coming on shift and the iv is already going how can I verify that it is correct? Ty

@@NurseMinder
Ty very much, a psych nurse going into med surg😨
Awesome. Upgrading or changing units?
@@NurseMinder
Upgrading, scared because I've not work in a real clinical setting
You are not alone. Many will be doing this with you,
SLOW DOWN Good video
theese videos must be "Refreshers" because you moved so fast i could hardly write the problem or steps. deff not begginer friendly
There is a download in the description and you can pause the video to learn at your pace :). Any questions, feel free to ask
Love video hate the background music
Thanks for the feedback!
What's need of calculator in this XDD
?
