To estimate drug dosages, doctors use a patient’s body surface area (BSA)(in meters squared) using the formula BSA = √hm/60, where h is the height in centimeters and m is the mass in kilograms. Calculate the rate of change of BSA with respect to height for a person of constant mass m = 80 kg. Express answer in correct units.

Systemic blood pressure is expressed as the ratio of the systolic pressure (when the heart first ejects blood into the arteries) to the diastolic pressure (when the heart is relaxed). Normal systemic blood pressure is 12080. What is the maximum force (in newtons) that the blood exerts against each square centimeter of the heart for a person with normal blood pressure?
For the Motrin® dose, calculate how much (in mg) did Erthy consume for all three doses. To do that, you will need the following information: Mrs. AB used a 120mL bottle of Motrin® (concentration is 100 mg per 5 mL) and followed the package instructions (7.5mL per dose for a child weighing 16 – 21.9 kg).
The amount of calcium in physiologic fluids can be determined by a complexometric titration with EDTA. In one such analysis, a 0.100-mL sample of blood serum was made basic by adding 2 drops of NaOH and titrated with 0.001 M EDTA, requiring 0.238 mL to reach the end point. Report the concentration of calcium in the sample as miligrams of Ca per 100 mL. (Ca = 40.078 amu).
