A 14 year old boy weights 110 lbs. He is prescribed by his Doctor to take 5mg/Kg of drug "A" daily. What will his dose be?
- 1200mg
- 1250mg
- 150mg
- 250mg
Correct Answer

A. 250mg

Explanation

The correct answer is 250mg because to calculate the dose, we need to multiply the weight of the boy (110 lbs) by the prescribed dose per kg (5mg). This gives us 550mg. However, since the question asks for the dose in mg, we need to convert the weight from lbs to kg. 110 lbs is approximately 49.9 kg. Multiplying 49.9 kg by 5mg gives us 249.5mg, which can be rounded to 250mg.

A cart exchange in a hospital usually takes place every:
- 12 Hours
- 6 Hours
- 24 Hours
- 48 Hours
Correct Answer

A. 24 Hours

Explanation

In a hospital, a cart exchange refers to the process of replacing or replenishing medical supplies and equipment on a cart. Since hospitals require constant access to these items, it is necessary to exchange the cart regularly. A 24-hour interval is reasonable because it allows for a sufficient supply of items while also ensuring that they are regularly checked and restocked. This interval strikes a balance between meeting the hospital's needs and managing the workload of the staff responsible for cart exchanges.

- 15ml taken orally every 4 hours as needed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct Answer

A. One tablespoon taken orally every 4 hours as needed

Explanation

The correct answer is "One tablespoon taken orally every 4 hours as needed" because the abbreviation "PO" stands for "per os," which means "by mouth" or "orally." "Q4°" means "every 4 hours" and "PRN" means "as needed." Therefore, the instructions indicate that the patient should take one tablespoon of the cough syrup orally every 4 hours as needed.

An eight year old boy weights 75 Lbs. The adult dosage of Drug C is 400mg. The childrens dosage using Clarks rule is:
- 100mg
- 150mg
- 200mg
- 250mg
Correct Answer

A. 200mg

Explanation

Clark's rule is a method used to calculate pediatric drug dosages based on a child's weight. According to Clark's rule, the formula to calculate the pediatric dosage is (child's weight in lbs / 150) * adult dosage. In this case, the child weighs 75 lbs. Using Clark's rule, the calculation would be (75 / 150) * 400 = 200mg. Therefore, the correct children's dosage using Clark's rule is 200mg.

Benazepril is classified as a :
- Beta Blocker
- ACE Inhibitor
- Calcium Channel Blocker
- Diuretic
Correct Answer

A. ACE Inhibitor

Explanation

Benazepril is classified as an ACE inhibitor. ACE inhibitors are a class of drugs commonly used to treat hypertension and heart failure.

- 1 Tablespoon at bedtime as needed.
- Take 1 Tablet at bedtime as needed.
- Take 30 minutes before bedtime with food.
- Take 1 Tablet as directed with food. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct Answer

A. Take 1 Tablet at bedtime as needed.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Take 1 Tablet at bedtime as needed." This is the most accurate instruction based on the prescription that reads "Restoril 15mg PRN HS #30." Restoril is a brand name for the medication temazepam, which is commonly prescribed for insomnia. The prescription indicates that the customer should take 1 tablet at bedtime as needed. The abbreviation "PRN" stands for "pro re nata," which means "as needed." The abbreviation "HS" stands for "hora somni," which means "at bedtime." Therefore, the correct instructions on the customer's packaging would likely be to take 1 tablet at bedtime as needed.

Your Pharmacy has a 40% markup and $1.75 dispensing fee. The wholesale price for 10 Sildenafil is $120.00, what will the retail price be.
- $201.75
- $188.50
- $169.75
- $125.75
Correct Answer

A. $169.75

Explanation

The retail price can be calculated by adding the markup and dispensing fee to the wholesale price. The markup is 40% of the wholesale price, which is $120.00 * 0.40 = $48.00. The dispensing fee is $1.75. Adding these amounts to the wholesale price gives us $120.00 + $48.00 + $1.75 = $169.75. Therefore, the retail price will be $169.75.

Which form of Diabetes is Insulin Dependent ?
- Hypoglycemia
- Hyperglycemia
- Type I Diabetes
- Type II Diabetes
Correct Answer

A. Type I Diabetes

Explanation

Type I Diabetes is the form of diabetes that is insulin dependent. In this condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to a lack of insulin production. As a result, individuals with Type I Diabetes require insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump to regulate their blood sugar levels. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are both conditions that can occur in individuals with diabetes, but they are not specific to Type I Diabetes. Type II Diabetes, on the other hand, is typically managed through lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin, but it is not solely insulin dependent.

- Class IV
- Class III
- Class II
- Class I
Correct Answer

A. Class III

Explanation

Class III FDA recalls are considered to be less severe compared to Class I and Class II recalls. Class III recalls are issued when a product's use or exposure may cause temporary or reversible health problems, or when the probability of serious adverse effects is low. In contrast, Class I recalls are the most severe, indicating that the product poses a significant risk of serious health problems or even death. Class II recalls fall in between, indicating a potential risk of temporary or medically reversible health problems. Therefore, Class III is the least severe recall category.
