Answer 9

Correct Answers:

3

Rationale :

✏️ Use the formulas:

► Convert g to mg = 1 g = 1000 mg

►Total dose = 3.9 g = 3900 mg

►Dose per dose = 3900 ÷ 2 = 1950 mg every 12 hr

Tablets per dose = Dose ÷ Strength per tablet

✏️ Each tablet = 650 mg

⩥ Calculation:

1950 ÷ 650

👉 = 3 tablets per dose

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

1

Rationale :

🖍️ Use the formulas:

Weight (kg) = 220 ÷ 2.2 = 100 kg

Dose ordered = 1 mg/kg = 100 mg

Volume = Dose ÷ Concentration

✏️ Available = 30 mg/0.3 mL →

100 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = x mL

⩥ Calculation:

100 ÷ 100 = 1
