How to calculate the exposure rate?

Hello Everyone,

I'm a student nurse in my last semester, and the topic is oncology nursing. There is an example of calculating the expousre rate:

if exposure rate is 12m at 4ft what would exposure rate be at 8ft?
the answer is 3

I'm having a hard time trying to figure this one out? Any suggestions?

I have been an oncology nurse for 8 years and have no idea what you're trying to do. Are you working on body surface area (BSA)? or on previous exposure to a specific drug? Why don't you post the entire question posed to you and maybe we can help.

Re: How to calculate the exposure rate?

I've been in Oncology for close to ten years, worked in onco/hemo in 3 of the top hospitals in the country, and have no clue what the OP is asking.

Could you please elaborate?
