Drug Dosage
In clinical review, locked
The NurseTools drug dosage tool is planned to walk through weight-based dose arithmetic step by step. It is in clinical review, locked, and not available. It stays locked until it clears every release gate, including the approval route Apple requires for dosage calculators.
The formula
Dose = (desired ÷ have) × quantity. Weight-based: dose per kg × weight (kg).
What the tool will cover
- Planned: step-by-step dose arithmetic with units written out.
- Planned: unit checks for mg, mcg and mL.
- Planned: sources, version and review date on the tool.
Status
This tool is in clinical review and locked. It is not available in NurseTools yet, and nothing unlocks it early. It is released only after it clears all four gates:
- Source and rights audit. Every formula and reference is traced to its source and licensed for use.
- Clinical editorial review. A reviewer with the right specialty signs off on the content.
- Independent testing. Known-answer tests cover normal values, edge cases and unit mix-ups.
- Regulatory and App Store review. Higher-risk tools wait for the right approval route before release.

Why is a dosage tool held to a higher bar?
Dose errors can cause harm. The tool needs source review, clinical sign-off, independent testing and the approval route Apple requires for dosage calculators before release.
