Calculation 2
In this Calculation 2 lecture, we will dive into the essential pharmaceutical calculations involving molarity, millimoles (mmol), milliequivalents (mEq), and milliosmoles (mOSm). These concepts are fundamental in understanding the concentration of solutions, dosing, and fluid balance in medical treatments.
You will learn how to:
- Calculate molarity and understand its importance in solution preparation.
- Convert between millimoles and moles to determine the amount of substances in a solution.
- Apply milliequivalents in calculating electrolyte solutions.
- Use milliosmoles in assessing osmolarity for IV fluid preparations.
This lecture is crucial for mastering the quantitative skills needed for pharmaceutical practice and KAPS exam preparation.
