Application Title: Medical Weight Conversion Calculator

Purpose: This Windows Desktop application converts a patient's weight into pounds or kilograms for medication purposes.

Program Procedures: The medical staff enters the patient's weight and selects either Pounds to Kilograms or Kilograms to Pounds. The application will determine the user's weight in pounds or kilograms. Many medications are prescribed based on patient weight in kilograms.

Algorithms, Processing, and Conditions:

1. The medical staff must be able to enter the patient's weight and indicate whether it should be converted from pounds to kilograms or kilograms to pounds.

2. To convert pounds to kilograms - divide the number of pounds by 2.2046. To convert kilograms to pounds - multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2046.

3. The medical staff must be able to initiate the calculation and display the converted weight.

4. The medical staff must be able to clear their input and the results.

Notes and Restrictions:

1. If the patient's weight entry is blank or nonnumeric, the medical staff should be advised and asked for a valid entry.

2. The results should be displayed three places past the decimal point.

Comments: The image in this application is named Scale and is available on CengageBrain.com.
