Answer to Question 1

1.68 mg/week

Global Rationale: To calculate the amount of medication to provide the client according to total body surface area multiply the prescribed dose x the client's body surface area or 1.4 x 1.2 = 1.68. The client should receive 1.68 milligrams of the medication in one week.

Answer to Question 2
