A patient undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment has a BSA of 1.86 m2. The medication prescribed is dosed at 150 mg/m2 to be given over three equal doses every third day. What would be the total dose administered for each individual dose?
86 mg
279 mg
450 mg
93 mg
To find the dose for each individual administration, calculate the total dose by multiplying the BSA by the dosage per m2, and then divide by the number of doses. For this patient: 1.86 m2 * 150 mg/m^2 = 279 mg total. Then divide this by the number of doses, which is three, resulting in a dose of 93 mg per individual administration. It is essential to divide the total calculated dose correctly to ensure that each dose is equal and that the cumulative dose over the dosing period is correct.
