Dose calculations are very important for Nurses to understand. Knowing how to do dose calculations will enable you, as a nurse, to properly prepare and administer medications to all of your patients. Often times, medications do not come in the dose they are ordered for. For example, a syringe comes pre-filled with 6 mg of Morphine. If you only want to give 3 mg of Morphine, you need to know how to figure this problem out without giving too much or too little.
