6.3.1.2) Dose based on BSA Easy 1
Total tried: Correct: Wrong:
For a patient the adult dose is 50 mg. What will be the dose for this patient if his BSA is 0.71 m2
Click on the button below to see the answer and explanations
lb equals 35.50 mg kg
- Here Patient's BSA = 0.71 `m^2`
- Adult dose for patient = 50 mg
We know that,
Patient's dose (mg) = `(Patient's \quad BSA \quad m^2)/(1.73 \quad m^2)` × Drug dose (mg)
Patient's Dose = `(0.71 \quad m^2)/(1.73 \quad m^2)` × 50 mg = 35.5 mg Ans.
