Learning outcomes
What you will learn
- read mg/kg, mL/hr and similar units as “for each”
- identify how many units the question gives you
- multiply a per-unit amount to find the total
- use the units to check what your answer represents
- apply the same method when decimals are involved
Clinical connection
Why this matters
This is the maths behind weight-based doses, volumes delivered over time and repeated doses. Once you understand the “for each” idea, the calculation becomes much easier to recognise.
