The Importance of Dosage Calculation

Instructions

Read the discussion prompts and create an initial post of 200-250 words. After you complete your initial post, respond to your classmates.

Discussion Prompts

Fluency in the conversion between and within metric and standard units is an essential skill in the nursing profession.  Keep that in mind as you answer the discussion prompts below:

  • Think of a situation in which negative effects have occurred due to incorrect dosage calculations? This situation could be a personal experience, the experience of someone you know, or a hypothetical. 
  • Explain how this error could have been avoided. 
  • How will you ensure that you avoid dosage errors due to metric conversions in your future career as a nurse?

Due

  • Initial post due by Wednesday, at 11:59 p.m.
  • Responses to two classmates’ posts due Saturday 11:59 p.m.

This schedule ensures that you have adequate time to prepare initial responses, read through the posts, and supply meaningful reactions that extend the conversation.

Submission and Assessment Guidelines

  • Post to the Discussion Board in Canvas. For help on how to submit discussion posts, review How do I reply to a discussion as a student.

  • Remember that a substantive post should provide a reason for your beliefs. In other words, why do you feel the way you feel? Your opinion is acceptable, but you must have a solid rationale for it. You will need to respond critically and persuasively.
  • Responses that include comments like “I agree” or “Good point” will not be accepted as required responses.
  • Review the Discussion Board Rubric for grading criteria. For instructions on how to view the rubric for this assignment, review How do I view the rubric for my graded discussion.
  • This discussion is worth 10 points.
  • Discussions posted after the due date but within the assigned week will receive a 10% deduction. No points will be earned for posts submitted after the assigned week.
