Rounding Guidelines

  • For weight, round to the nearest whole number



For Medication

  • liquids, and injections: dosages are rounded to the nearest 1 decimal place if it’s >1mL (1.75=2) if <1 mL, round dosage to nearest hundreth (1.576 = 1.58)

  • Calculated drops/min infusion rates round to the nearest whole number
