This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation.

In this episode you will learn: • Always convert patient weight from pounds to kilograms at the start of any weight-based dosage calculation. • Use dimensional analysis as a systematic way to solve multi-step problems and prevent unit conversion errors. • Carefully read medication labels to identify the final concentration after reconstitution, ignoring distractor information like the total powder amount. • Calculate the total volume for infusion by adding the medication volume to the IV fluid volume before determining the flow rate. • Pay close attention to time units, converting minutes to hours when the question asks for a rate in milliliters per hour.
