What is BSA in pediatric dosing and how do you use it?
Ans) The average adult BSA is 1.7 m2 (1.9 m2 for adult males and 1.6 m2 for adult females). This number is used to calculate dosages for cytotoxic anticancer agents. To minimize variation in patient size, dosing for most chemotherapeutic agents use mg of drug per m2 of body surface area.
- Most drugs in children are dosed according to body weight (mg/kg) or body surface area (BSA) (mg/m2). Care must be taken to properly convert body weight from pounds to kilograms (1 kg= 2.2 lb) before calculating doses based on body weight.
1. The pediatric patient weighs 28 pounds. For safe medication dosing, the clinic documents all pediatric weights in kilograms. Please use the Vitals tab to document this weight correctly in kgs. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs The pediatric patient weighs 8 lbs, 8 oz. Please use the Vitals tab to document this patient's weight in kg to the nearest tenth. 3. The adult patient tells you he weighs 95 kilos Please convert this weight to lbs and document the...

. Discuss how you were able to determine which
protein was in which lane. You will have to do some
online research to find the molecular weight of each protein,
whether it is a dimer, etc. For at least one of the proteins, there
is some variability regarding the molecular weight, but the range
should still allow you to determine which lane each of the proteins
is in. For each lane, pay attention to...
