1. Normal saline solution is 0.9% NaCl in water. (0.9 grams in 100 cc total)
How many grams of NaCl are needed to make one liter of normal saline?
? g = 0.9 g X 1000 cc Ans: 9 g
100 cc
2. If a patient takes 2 teaspoonfuls of syrup QID for one week, how many mL (or cc) should be dispensed for the prescription?
Ans: 280 mL
3. Add 1.4 liters and 3 fluidounces (rounded using 30 cc/ fl.0z). How many cc is the result?
1400 + 90 = 1490
4. How many grams of Drug S are needed to make 0.5 lb of a 10% ointment?
? g of drug S = 10 g of drug S X 454 g X 0.5 lb 22.7g
100 g total lb

5. Drug X 2.5 %
Dispense 1 fl 0z (rounded: use 30 cc/oz)

How many grams of drug X are needed to make the Rx
Ans: 0.75 g
6. How many grams of Drug V are needed to make one hundred capsules (50 mg ea)?
ans 5 caps? grams

ans: 1250 g
11. If 6 g of drug G.B. are contained in a solution of 0.3 liter, what is its % strength (w/v)?
6g / 300 cc = x g/ 100 cc
12. What is the percentage strength of a solution that is available as a 1:250 ratio strength product?
1/250 = x/100
13. Rx Aspirin 2 g
