Practice problems for the ATI Dosage Calculation 4.0 Dosage by Weight module
Weight-based doses and safe dose ranges: convert pounds to kilograms, multiply by the mg/kg order, and check the order against the reference range before you give it. If your program assigned this module and you want more than its fixed question set, these generators cover the same skills with unlimited problems and step-by-step grading.
What the module tests and what we drill
| Skill in the module | Our generator | Answer and rounding |
|---|---|---|
| Convert lb to kg, then mg/kg to a dose and a volume | Weight-based | mg or mL, tenth |
| Is the ordered dose within the safe range | Safe dose range | the maximum in mg, plus safe or not safe |
enoxaparin sodium 1.5 mg/kg SC q12h. The patient weighs 264 lb. How many mL will you give per dose? Round to the nearest tenth of a mL (to the nearest hundredth if the answer is under 1 mL).
Available: enoxaparin sodium 150 mg/mL

Questions people ask
Does this replace the module?
No. Your program's module is the assignment. This is extra practice on the same skills, with new numbers every time and each step graded.
Why do I keep missing weight-based problems?
Almost always one of two things: pounds used as kilograms, or the daily dose not divided by the number of doses. Our grading names which one.
