Changing Units of Measure
Units of measurement are displayed on the table to the right of the data values.
Changing the selected units for AMOUNT may also change the displayed units for
CONC. Changing the selected units for DOSE may also change the displayed
units for DOSE/WT and TOTAL DOSE.
If the values for CONC, DOSE/HR, DOSE/WT/HR, and TOTAL DOSE exceed the
range of their currently selected units, that value is divided by 1000 and the units
change accordingly. For example, if the value for TOTAL DOSE is 123,456 mg, it
will be displayed as 123.46 g. This value is rounded because only two digits can
be displayed to the right of the decimal point.
WEIGHT is displayed in kilograms (kg), regardless of the system’s setting for
weight. Weights in pounds automatically convert to kilograms prior to being
displayed.
Units Submenu
This menu allows you to choose one of three types of units (grams, mEq, and
units) for AMOUNT or DOSE.
Changing the units for AMOUNT may change the units for CONC. Changing the
unit type for AMOUNT changes the unit type for DOSE. Either may scale the
values and units for CONC, DOSE, DOSE/WT, and TOTAL DOSE up or down for
values less than 0.01 or greater than 9999.99.
Changing the units for DOSE may change the units for DOSE/WT and TOTAL
DOSE. As a result, both the minute and hour values for DOSE and DOSE/WT
may change.
Dose Submenu
When you select DOSE in the Edit Inputs menu, four dose type keys are
displayed. Select any of these keys to edit the corresponding value shown in the
Drug Dosage Calculations table. The system automatically calculates and
displays the changes for the other three dose types in the Drug Dosage
Calculations table.
The dose type selected for a specific drug defines the dose unit used for that
drug’s titration tables. When you store a Drug Calculation record, the dose type is
also stored.
Storing a Record
Touch STORE ENTRY to store the record and to display the letter s under the
associated DRUG key. You can store six records, one for each DRUG key. If you
edit a record that has been stored, the system removes the letter s because the
newly edited changes have not been stored.
