question 7 (2.5 points)
a patient with a bsa of 0.45 m2 is prescribed oncovin 2 mg/m2 once a week. how many mg of the medication should be given if the medication available is 5 mg/ml?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The amount of medication = BSA × dose per unit area.

Step2: Substitute the values

The BSA is 0.82 m² and the dose per m² is 2 million units/m². So the amount of medication = 0.82×2000000.

Step3: Calculate the result

0.82×2000000 = 1640000 units.

Answer:

c) 1,640,000 units
