Nursing Calculators HomeHelp | ||
The following is a list of nursing calculators. Each calculator, along with examples and formulas, provides a unique way to review nursing math.How to use the calculatorsEach link below, describing the calculator, will take you to that calculator’s web page. To work these calculators, everything above the “solve” button is for you to fill in. The answer(s) will be shown below the “solve” button. Friendly alerts will appear if you leave a box blank or type in something wrong. You may see examples of the calculator on those pages (examples shown are just for display). This calculator does not work. It is just for display.These radio buttons let you choose between options. Click and point with your mouse to select or change an option. The dot indicates which option is selected.  All the boxes above the “solve” button are for you to fill in. These boxes require numbers or decimal points (periods) only.The “solve” button takes whatever information is entered and calculates the result.All boxes below the “solve” button are where the results are displayed. Don’t put anything here.The “reset” button clears all information entered. The radio buttons will go back to their default option. Dosage calculators:PO dosage calculator calculates liquid medications such as acetaminophen elixirIV dosage calculator calculates IV medications such as furosemide and digoxinCalculate IV rates:IV rate (gtt/min) calculates IV rates without using an IV pumpIV rate (mL/hr) calculates IV rates when given a time limit when IV must be infusedmcg/min as mL/hr calculates IV medication rates such as norepinephrine and nitroglycerinemcg/kg/min as mL/hr calculates IV medication rates such as nitroprusside and dopamineCalculate infusion time:IV time (hrs) given an IV rate, calculates the duration of an IV Calculate dosage given or infusing:There are times when the only way to figure out how much medication is being infused is by looking at the information on the IV bag and the rate of the infusion. mL/hr as dose/hr calculates the dose of medications infusing such as heparinmL/hr as mcg/min calculates the dose of medications infusing such as nitroglycerine and norepinephrinemL/hr as mcg/kg/min calculates the dose of medications infusing such as dobutamine and nitroprussideClinical Calculatorspediatric dose calculator converts an adult dosage into a pediatric using BSAO2 remaining in e-cylinder calculates how much O2 is left according to rate infusingbsa calculator calculates the BSA according to height and weightdrug absorption (Pka) determines how well a medication will be absorbed into the body O.R. fluid requirements calculates IV rate according to the type of surgeryN.P.O. fluid replacement calculates fluid replacement for time NPOallowable blood loss calculates how much blood can be lost without needing a transfusionestimated blood volume estimates how much blood is in a person’s bodyIdeal Body Weight (IBW) compares an individuals weight against a statistical normAdjusted Body Weight (ABW) calculates the ABW in obese persons for more accurate drug dosingConversion Calculators°F,°C conversions converts Fahrenheit and Celsius temperaturespounds to kilograms converts pound and kilogram weightsinches to centimeters converts inch and centimeter lengths% solutions to mg/mL converts % solution into mg/mL concentrationepinephrine solutions to mg/mL chart that converts a ratio into a mg/mL concentration “The information provided on this page is property of, and provided courtesy of, ManuelsWeb.com.”www.manuelsweb.com |
