The HCP prescribes methotrexate 7.5 mg PO weekly, in 3 divides doses for a child with rheumatoid arthritis whose body surface area (BSA) is 0.6 m2. The therapeutic dosage of methotrexate PO is 5 to 15 mg/m2/week. How many mg should the nurse administer in each of the three doses given weekly? (Enter the numeric value only. If round is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

1.5mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the HCP prescribed 7.5 mg of PO weekly

The therapeutic dosage is given in the question as 5 - 15 mg/m² weekly.

The child's body surface area is given = 0.6m²

The mg of PO that the nurse should administer in each of the three doses given weekly is calculated as

7.5mg/ 5mg/m²

= 1.5 mg of PO

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
