For many drugs, it is important to adjust the dose for individual patients. A patient's body weight or body surface area (BSA) is sometimes used for estimating drug dosages for children and for estimating the starting dosage for chemotherapy for cancer patients. BSA is difficult to measure directly, but it may be calculated by the following formula based on height and weight. BSA = 71.84W0.425H0.725, where BSA is measured in square centimeters, W is weight in kilograms, and H is height in centimeters.
A patient weighs 210 lb and is 6 feet 3 inches tall. His dosage rate of a particular drug is 15 mg/m2 /day (that is, 15 mg for each square meter of body surface area (BSA) per day). What is his daily dosage in mg? Give to the nearest mg. (8 pts) (Hint – pay attention to the m2 and cm2 . Also – 3 inches is what part of a foot?)

Certain chemotherapy dosages depend on a patient's surface area. According to the Gehan and George model, S=0.02235h042246w0.51456,where his the patient's height in centimeters, wis his or her weight in kilograms, and S is the approximation to his or her surface area in square meters. Joanne is 180 cm tall and weighs 80 kg. Use a differential to estimate how much her surface area changes after her weight decreases by 2 kg. Joanne's surface area changes by approximately _______ (Round to five...

The amount of skin covering a person's body (in square feet) depends on the person's height and weight. One model for estimating this skin surface area is A(w, h) = 0.6416w0.425h0.725 square feet for a person weighing w pounds who is h feet tall. If a person 5 feet 7 inches tall who weighs 145 pounds grows 3 inches in height, by approximately how much must this person's weight change if the skin surface area is to remain the same?...
