Order Chemotherapy—Prevent Recalculation at Activation

1. Click to select an agent from the list.

2. Click the Do not change dose calculation tab.

3. Click to check or uncheck the checkbox.

4. If preventing recalculation of dosing, type a reason in the field provided.

5. Repeat for each chemo medication ordered, as needed.

• Checking the checkbox and entering a reason prevents automatic recalculation of weight-based dosing when the nurse updates the patient's chemo weight at activation.

• This option is selected automatically when there is a weight available from the LMR that is 5% greater or less than the chemo weight on record when selecting this regimen or protocol, and you chose NOT to update the chemo weight with the weight from the LMR. Your reason for declining the update is stored as the reason to prevent recalculation of the weight-based dosing upon activation.
