Weight-Based Dosing
Manage episode 426534850 series 2931422
In this week's episode of GameChangers, we focus on how pharmacists can prevent weight-based dosing errors.
Listen in to learn more about:
- Which body weights to use for which medication-based dosing
- The four different scales of weight
- “Normal” weights for kids
- The Rule of 5 for dosing pediatric patients
- What the formula is for switching from pediatric dosing to adult dosing
- The definition of “Patient first language”
The GameChanger
Too often, health care providers don't dose medications based on weight. The pharmacist should be ensuring doses are correct based on patient weight.
