a patient has an order for a medication for 200/m2 the patient BSA1.1/m2. what is the dose in mg. i have the answer but need the formula
The formula to calculate the dose in mg is:
Dose = BSA x Medication dose
where BSA is the body surface area in square meters and Medication dose is the ordered dose per square meter of body surface area.
Using the values given in the question:
Dose = 1.1 m2 x 200 mg/m2
Dose = 220 mg
Therefore, the dose in mg for a patient with a BSA of 1.1/m2 and an order for a medication dose of 200/m2 is 220 mg.
