Fluid Maintenance Requirements: 100,50, 20 rule
- The first 10 kg you multiply by 100
- The second 10 kg you multiply by 50
- The remain kg you multiply by 20
- Add together → total fluid needed per day to maintain hydration
Medication: Safe Doses
- Patient wt in kg
- Look at physician order
- Look at reliable drug book source for the safe dose
- The highest amount within the safe range is multiplied by pt wt.
- Make sure the physician order is less than the safe range calculated
Medication Safe Doses: Per dose
No frequency needs to be calculated
Medication Safe Doses: Per day
Just calculate the ordered frequency
Safe doses have frequency recommendations
Need to figure out the day frequency from the safe dose by multiplying
