Method: 3 milliunits/minute + 0.166 milliunits/minute X 1 mL = 18.07 mL/hour = 18 mL/hour. Proportion (Ratios): 1 mL : 0.166 milliunits :: x mL : 3 milliunits; 0.166x = 3/0.166 = 18 mL/hour. Proportion (Fractions): 1 mL/0.166 milliunits = x mL/3 milliunits; 0.166x = 3/0.166 = 18 mL/hour. Use two conversion factors for dimensional analysis. Dimensional Analysis: 1000 mL/10 units X 3 milliunits/minute X 60 minutes/1 hour X 1 unit/1000 milliunits = 1000 mL X 3 X 1 X 60/10 X 1000 X 1 hour X 1 =180,000/10,000 = 18 mL/hour.

A child's weight is 20 Ib, and his height is 30 inches. Determine the body surface area (BSA) in square meters. Use the nomogram in the textbook (p. 282). A) 0.35 m? B) 0.4 m’ C) 0.45 m? D) 0.5 m’ Ans: Feedback: BSA is critical when calculating dosages for pediatric patients or for drugs that are extremely potent and need to be given in precise amounts. The nomogram lets you plot the patient/client's height and weight to determine the BSA. 1. Locate the patient/client's height in the left column of the nomogram and the weight in the right column. 2. Use a ruler to draw a straight line connecting the two points. The point where the line intersects the surface area column indicates the patient's BSA in square meters.
