@Alfred A patient is to ​receive 50 ​mg/m2​ of a drug PO daily​ . The patient has a BSA of 1.79 m2​ . The strength of the drug is 125​ mg/5 mL. How many milliliters should the client​ receive?

@Qweencara The patient should receive 7.125 mL of the drug PO daily. (50 mg/m2 x 1.79 m2 = 88.5 mg; 88.5 mg / 125 mg/5 mL = 0.708 mL; 0.708 mL x 5 mL = 3.54 mL; rounded to three significant figures, this is 3.5 mL, which when rounded up to the nearest tenth of a milliliter is 7.1 mL. However, because the amount must be in whole numbers, the patient should receive 7.125 mL of the drug PO daily.)
