ANSWER
* Calculation of volume (ml) of drug required.
Formula
Volume (ml) = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity
Here
Ordered dose = 135 mg/m2
BSA(m2) of the patient = 1.62 m2
So
Desired dose (D) = 135 * 1.62
= 218.7 mg
Dose in hand (H) = 6 mg
Quantity (Q) = 1 ml
As per above formula
Volume (ml) of drug required = D/H *Q
= 218.7/6 * 1
= 36.45 * 1
B = 36.5 ml
