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 |
|
lb = ?g
kg - ?lb |
454 g
2.2 lb |
|

|
|
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
|
