The following table shows the drug/rate units and options available for administration
of medications using dosing/rate units in
combination with patient metrics and time
units. Dosing units are derived by selecting any one unit from each column in any
combination (except where noted otherwise). The dosing units may be pre-set in the
Drub Library (refer to Chapter 1.2 ) or selected when using the Dose Rate Calculator
(refer to Chapter 2.2.4).
