About Medication Administration and Dosage Calculation

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The resources here follow the path of a medication from the order to the patient. You will find safety checks, routes of administration, injection technique, IV work, abbreviations and dosage calculations. They were made by GoConqr users, so styles and depth vary, and that variety is useful when you want a second explanation.

Where to start

Begin with the basics of safe practice.

Open the Intro to Medication Administration quiz. It uses a scenario about a nurse preparing a morphine injection, so you practice judgment as well as recall.
Look at the mind maps on the rights of medication administration. There are versions with six, eight and ten rights, so compare them.
Use the Medication Administration (PO) mind map to see the safety checks for oral medicines, such as matching the wristband with the MAR.

Routes, injections and calculations

Once the checks feel familiar, move to routes. The quiz on intradermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections covers the purpose of parenteral injections. Notes on intramuscular and subcutaneous injections sit alongside mind maps on insulin and IV administration. There are also flashcards on syringes, needles, sites and equipment.

For calculations, the Dosage Calculations Metric Table deck lists conversions such as micrograms to milligrams and teaspoons to milliliters. Then try the quizzes on drug calculations and dosage calculation practice problems. The notes on safe dosage and dosages by weight explain the working.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see the whole sequence. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which questions you missed. Go back to the map or flashcards for those points, and try the quiz again later. Abbreviation decks are handy for short, frequent sessions.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the Pharmacology and Therapeutic Interventions strand of Nursing. Teachers can use the quizzes and maps as ready-made material for a class or a skills session.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Intro to Medication Administration quiz. It presents a realistic situation about preparing a morphine injection, then asks what a nurse should do. After that, look at the mind maps on the rights of medication administration to see the full set of checks in one view.

Where can I practice dosage calculations?

Try the Drug Calculations quiz and the Dosage Calculations Nursing Practice Problems quiz. The Dosage Calculations Metric Table flashcard deck helps with conversions first, such as micrograms to milligrams and milliliters to liters. Notes on safe dosage and dosages by weight support the working.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 70 mind maps. They cover the rights of medication administration, oral and IV routes, intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, insulin, pediatric administration and medicines adherence. A few focus on single drugs, including paracetamol and dexamethasone. They suit quick overviews before a quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates learning medication administration, and teachers looking for ready-made material. The mix includes skills checklists, abbreviations, injection technique and IV procedures. Content comes from many contributors, so it helps to compare a few resources on the same topic.

What if I can't find a topic I need?

Check nearby topics first, since injections, IV work and abbreviations appear in several formats. If something is still missing, you can make your own flashcards, mind map or quiz on it. Creating your own is also a good way to check what you have learned.
