QUESTION 3 A patient is ordered Etoposide 50 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 of a chemotherapy cycle. The patient weighs 100 lbs and is 5'6" tall. How many mg of etoposide should the patient receive with each dose and how many mg of etoposide should the patient receive for the entire cycle? Round answers to the nearest tenth and DO NOT include units. QUESTION 4 A patient is ordered 25 mg/kg/day of a drug that comes in 250 mg tablets. The patient weighs 90 kg. The dose is to be divided into 3 daily doses and the patient is to take the medications for 15 days. How many tablets should be dispensed? DO NOT include units QUESTION 5 A patient is to receive Taxol 100 mg/m2. The patient weighs 120 lbs and is 5'8" tall. What dose of Taxol in milligrams should the patient receive? Round answers to the nearest tenth and DO NOT include units.

The physician orders a protease inhibitor for the patient at 1.2 g daily. The label reads a dosage unit of 1 mL and the dose on hand is 120 mg. Determine the number of mL your patient would receive. An anticonvulsant medication is ordered for your patient at 30 mg/kg loading dose. Your patient weighs 70 kg. For the loading dose, how many mg of this anticonvulsant medication would you administer to your patient? FORMULA METHOD A doctor orders 400 mg of a medication TZ. You have the medication TZ in a dose of 100 mg/2 mL on hand. How much of the medication would you give the patient? A patient is to receive an antidepressant medication at 120 mg daily. The medication comes in 30 mg tablets. How many tablets would you give the patient on a daily basis? A doctor orders an oral solution for your patient at 0.75 mg daily. You read the label on the bottle and find the dosage unit at 1 mL and the dose on hand at 1 mg. How may milliliters would you prepare for your patient?
Body Weight Formulas BSA (m^2) = (Height (cm) * Weight (kg)) / 3600 BMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (m)]^2 AjBW = [(ABW - IBW) * 0.4] + IBW IBWmale = 50 kg + [2.3 * each inch over 5 feet] IBWfemale = 45.5 kg + [2.3 * each inch over 5 feet] Question #4 Value: 1 NO UNITS IN ANSWER Immunoglobulin (IVIG) dosing of 300 mg/kg should be based on either actual body weight (ABW) if non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m^2) or adjusted body weight (AjBW) if obese (BMI >= 30 kg/m^2) Note: Note 1 kg = 2.2 lb, 1 m = 39.37 in. Determine the dose in grams (g) of immunoglobulin for the following two patients. Round all weights to the nearest whole number. Round the final answer to 1 decimal place. (1) Patient #1: 39-year-old male who is 6'4" tall and weighs 209 lb? Dose for Patient #1 = g
