This option is not available if you have defined Dose Modifications by a fixed amount, rather than as a percentage. Delete the fixed amounts dose modifications to reactivate this option. See Changing Dose Modifications.
If you haven't already, click (Pedi) Weight/BSA Dependent Dose on the chemo medication order form. The Pedi Weight Dependent Dosing window opens.
Click either BSA (meters squared) or Kilograms (weight) to set units for the ranges.
Type the upper limit (in units as set in previous step) of the lowest weight or BSA in the weight column of line 1. The upper limit plus one becomes the lower limit for the next range in the sequence.
Type the dose for the defined range.
Select units to dose by: Meters squared (BSA), Kilograms (weight), or Fixed Dose (not weight-dependent).
Select a Frequency for the defined range. For Other, type a description when prompted, then click OK.
For lines 2 through 5 as needed, type the upper limit of the next range to be defined in the Weight column for that line. Complete each line as described above.
Complete line 6 as described above. This defines the lower limit of the upper age range. Any age above the one defined fits into this range.
The minimum requirement for weight dependent dosing is two (2) sequential ranges, so you must complete at least the first and last lines.
Click OK (ALT+O).
