Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 1: To calculate the amount of medication for each dose, multiply 30 mg x the client's total body surface area of 1.32 or 39.6 mg. To determine the total amount of medication to be provided in a week, multiply the single dose x 3 or 39.6 mg x 3 = 118.8 mg. The client will receive 118.8 mg of the medication in one week.
