Oncology nurses need clarity on whether to base chemo dose adjustments on the mg/m² calculation or the prescribed dose, and there is no standardized protocol or tool to resolve the ambiguity.

No specific software exists to guide nurses in dose-checking decisions, and the variation in hospital policies (5% vs 10%) adds confusion.
