The above example demonstrates the importance of
a) working in the same units (do not convert micrograms to mg if the drug is normally prescribed in micrograms )
b) avoid using decimel points (ie. 0.005, 0.05). Use whole numbers (25, 50).
c) use the correct unit abbreviations (ie microgram, not mcg).
d) be familiar with converting smaller to larger units/ vice versa. See below.
e) CHECKING THE BNF!
