Claim
Weight-based doses use patient weight × ordered dose-per-weight (e.g., mg/kg), then convert to the dispense unit. Confirm units (kg vs lb; mg vs mcg) before multiplying — unit errors dominate this item type.
Plain
Weight × (mg/kg) = dose. Convert lb→kg (÷2.2) when needed. Unit mismatch is the usual trap.
