question 9 (2.5 points) a patient with a bsa of 1.12 m2 is prescribed succimer by mouth. the recommended dose is 350 mg/m2 every 8 hours. how many mg of the medication should be provided for each dose? a) 502 mg b) 412 mg c) 463 mg d) 392 mg question 10 (2.5 points) a patient with a bsa of 1 m2 should receive 250 mg of acyclovir if the recommended dosage is 250 mg/m2 true false

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The formula to calculate the dose is $Dose = Dose - rate\times BSA$.

Step2: Substitute the values

The dose - rate is $350$ mg/m² and the BSA (body - surface area) is $1.12$ m². So, $Dose=350\times1.12$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$350\times1.12 = 392$ mg.

For question 10:
The recommended dosage is $250$ mg/m² and the BSA is $1$ m². Using the formula $Dose = Dose - rate\times BSA$, we have $Dose=250\times1 = 250$ mg. So the statement is True.

Answer:

Question 9: d) 392 mg
Question 10: True
