Frequently asked questions

How do I practise nursing drug calculations?
Little and often, under time pressure, checking your working each time. This tool generates unlimited dose, oral-liquid, infusion-rate and unit-conversion questions with instant feedback and a worked answer, so you can practise the method until it's fluent.
What formulas does it use?
The dose formula (what you want ÷ what you've got × what it's in) for tablets and liquids, volume ÷ time for infusion rates, and ×1,000 conversions between grams, milligrams and micrograms.
Can I rely on this for real medicines?
No. It is for practice and study only. Real doses are always calculated from the prescription in front of you, checked to local policy, and verified with a registered professional.
