jesus christ dude you just made that WAY to hard.. its simple really check all the above comments if you are confused.. its not hard

[mathstutorbiz]

@uhhhphilip Ok. Now you please read my replies to other comments (when I bother to write a rep[y) and understand why I leave my method on youtube......... it is not hard!!!!! mathstutor

Dont watch the video if you think he is complicating things. Obviously since you already have it figured out you shouldnt be searching for med calc help! I find it helpful to take things step by step to avoid making mistakes when choosing the easy way out.

@daleena19 Thank you for your comment. Very much appreciated. With all the sour comments it would be so easy for me take the clip off, but I'm pleased I have not..... and wont be!!! mathstutor

Talk about complicating a simple mathematical equation! I had completed this in my head within 30 seconds. This man (note a man) went all around the problem before coming to the answer...I always reduce to the simplest form.... I broke it down to find out how many mgs per ml..... Then it is simple addition. 5 into 125 goes 25 times. 25 mgs per ml. 4 mls is 100mgs! 4x4 =16.

It's no wonder so many people are bad at simple calculations when people complicate it thus!

@bobsgals Read all the other comments & find nearly EVERY one agrees with you. I have watched my video again & I AGREE WITH YOU. However I am still happy with my method. The nurse I made it for it was the right method. She found herself (YES HERSELF) able to understand & answer correctly questions on an exam she had failed twice passing with full marks. This is the first time for a long time I have bothered to reply to a comment but there is nothing on the TV to watch. mathstutor

he makes it too complicated

the easiest way is get what is ordered, which is 400 mg and divide by the available which is 125 mg and multiply by the ml ( 5 ml).....

400mg / 125 mg x 5 ml = 16 ml

always works

[pelblume]

why can this guy just say divide 400mg to 125mg then you'll get 3.2 then you multiply 3.2 to 5ml and the answer is 16ml. the way his setting this up its more complicated for most people. try my way and believe me its more easier than this.

[dementeddarling]

I watched this (I teach medical assisting and we just finished dosage calculations), and I must agree with some of the previous comments. The easiest formula for these problems is:

Order/On Hand x Quantity. The first problem in the video would be 400mg/125mg x 5mL = 16mL

[ELNODICTUS]

oh my this is way too complicated. The simple formula is DESIRED DOSE/Stock dose x dilution. D/s x dilution

[Nataliaa13B]

wow talk about complicating it up! lol 400mg over x . 125mg over 5ml. x X's 125 = 125. 400 X's 5 = 2000. 200 divide 125 = 16ml. Give 16 mls. SIMPLE!

[janreyqm7]

nice one! i will take the risk rather than the easy one.

[aperfecttool213]

I love this. A different approach on problems. The simple formula that I use is D (dosage) divided by A (available or stock) multiplied by the Q (quantity or volume). The method you have is basic algebra (correct me if I'm wrong). Thanks sir.

[MysticalBlackBeauty]

i'm confused as hell :(

[versace1962]

I like this method. It's gives one way to solve the equation. With math, there can be several ways to solve a math problem, it's advantageous to know and understand the many ways to manipulate the numbers to solve a math problem.

[mike1who1]

WTF....THIS IS SO LOL . HOW DID YOU MAKE SOMETHING SO EASY.. EXTREMELY COMPLICATED. I WORKED THIS OUT ANAD SOLVED 30 SECONDS AFTER HE STARTED. I GOT LOST HOW MANY 25'S IN 2000. BUT I GUESS SOME NEED TO KNOW THIS METHOD ALSO.
