Pounds to kilograms division for pediatric medications
That is interesting but it begs the question why the weights aren't recorded in kg or the dosage charts aren't provided in pounds as the unit of weight. Not saying you aren't capable of dividing by 2.2 (or 2.20462 yada yada depending on the precision needed) but it seems to just be adding another potential point of failure to the system.

Yes it is stupid, but most electronic medical records still only code for pounds since we are in America so you have to always divide by 2.2...makes no sense to me but I have to pull up my phone or do it on computer to get right dosages
