Answer:
The amount of medication in ml needed is 0.9 ml
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The prescribed medication for the child/m² = 1.5 mg/m² of vincristine
The BSA of the child = 0.6 m²
The quantity of the medication per ml = 1 mg/ml
The amount of medication the child need = The prescribed medication for the child/m² × (The BSA of the child)
The amount of medication the child need, mg = 1.5 mg/m² × 0.6 m² = 0.9 mg
The amount of medication in ml needed = (The amount of medication the child need, mg)/(The quantity of the medication per ml)
The amount of medication in ml needed = 0.9 mg/(1 mg/ml) = 0.9 ml.
