In the case of a serious allergic reaction, diphenhydramine may be administered to a patient by means of a slow IV or deep IM injection. An adult dose consists of 50 mg based on 1 m2 of body surface area (BSA) in solution, and the injection rate must not be greater than 25 mg/min for a single administration. Use the BSA rule to calculate a pediatric dose for a patient with a body surface area of 1.275 m2, and determine the injection rate if this dose is administered over a 2-min period.
Formula by using BAS go child dose
Child body surface area/Average adults body surface area*adult dose
Child body surface area=1.275Meter's2 = 127.5 Centimeters
Adult body surface area=1meter2= 100 centimeters
Dose 50 mg
127.5/100*50= 63.75.
In two devided does 63.75/2=31.85

Dexamethasone is an anti-inflammatory steroid used to treat various allergic disorders, as well as symptoms arising from neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). For a pediatric patient, a typical initial dose is 5 mg/day per square meter of body surface area (BSA). If the BSA of the patient is 1.2 m2, how many 0.75-mg tablets will be administered in a week?
Diazepam is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant and as a sedative administered before surgery, as well as a treatment for anxiety. For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area (BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg,...

1. In some patients, an allergic reaction may take the severe form of anaphylaxis. In such cases, epinephrine, a typically fast-acting bronchodilator, is sometimes administered by continuous IV infusion. If an adult dose is delivered at a rate of 4 micrograms per minute, and the concentration of the epinephrine solution is 1 mg/250 ml, then how many milliliters must be available for a one hour infusion? 2 Albuterol, a bronchodilator of the beta-2 adrenergic drug type, can be administered by...
