    Converting the weight of a


    child from pounds to kilograms

    For accurately
    calculate medication
    doses and daily fluid
    requirements

    Converting Grams to
    Kilograms

    The formula: 1000


    g=1 kg
    Newborn (neonate)
    and some infant
    weights are measured
    in grams.

    PEDIATRIC DOSAGE
    CALCULATIONS
    In pediatric dosage
    calculations, you can
    use a proportion or
    formula method.
    Proportion

    Formula

    CALCULATING THE SINGLE OR


    INDIVIDUAL DOSE
    (MILLIGRAMS/DOSE)
    To determine the correct
    single:

    Change the childs weight


    in pounds to kilograms.
    Find the recommended
    dosage in a reliable source.
    Multiply the kilogram
    weight by the recommended
    dose(s). The answer is the
    individual or single dose
    (mg/dose) of medication to
    be given each time the child
    receives the medication.

    CALCULATE THE 24-HOUR DOSAGE


    (RANGES)
    Many drugs are calculated
    based on the recommended
    24-hour dose, then divided
    into single doses to be given
    every 12, 8, 6, or 4 hours or
    as recommended by the
    drug manufacturers. These
    divided time schedules vary,
    and the physician, nurse
    practitioner, or physicians
    assistant will order the
    medication based on the
    recommended schedules.

    CALCULATE THE INDIVIDUAL DOSE OR


    SINGLE DOSE
    (MILLIGRAMS/KILOGRAM/24 HOURS
    DIVIDED)
    This is the individual dose each
    time the patient receives the
    medication.
    These times are established by
    the drug companies (e.g., q4 h,
    q6 h, q8 h, q12 h, or every day).
    As long as the dose does not
    exceed the maximum dose
    established in 24 hours and the
    dose does not exceed the adult
    dose, then it can be given safely.
    The physician will decide how
    often the medication is to be
    given.

    BODY SURFACE AREA


    CALCULATIONS
    Body surface
    area (BSA) is
    determined
    by using a
    childs height
    and weight
    along with
    the West
    nomogram.
