1. A 34-year-old female presents with symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold,
worsened mood and constipation. Current lab work reveals a hemoglobin of 14.2 g/dL, creatinine
of 1.1 mg/dL, B12 of 400 pg/mL, folic acid of 15 ng/mL, and TSH of 26.5 mIU/L. Current
medications include: Synthroid 50 mcg daily, Zoloft (sertraline) 75 mg daily, and folic acid 1 mg
daily. The patient is taking all medications as directed. What would you recommend?
A. Increase Zoloft to 100 mg daily
B. Consider the addition of vitamin B12
C. Increase Synthroid to 75 mcg daily
D. None of the above
Based on the presented symptoms and lab results, the patient is likely experiencing
symptoms of hypothyroidism, which is evidenced by the elevated TSH level. Therefore, it
would be appropriate to increase the Synthroid (levothyroxine) dosage to improve symptoms.
There is no evidence to suggest that increasing the dosage of Zoloft (sertraline) would help
with the patient's symptoms, so Option A is not recommended.
The patient's B12 level is within the normal range, so there is no indication to add vitamin
B12 at this time, making Option B not recommended.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Increase Synthroid to 75 mcg daily. However, it is
important for the patient to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and
monitoring.
2. How many mg of a medication will it take to create a 1,500 mL product at a concentration of
1:10,000?
Fill in the Blank: 150 mg
For weight/volume (w/v) ratios, 1:100 (1%) means 1 gram per 100 mL.
Therefore, 1:10,000 (0.01%) means 1 gram per 10,000 mL.
1 g/10,000 mL = 1,000 mg/10,000 mL = 0.1 mg/mL
Since 1,500 mL of total volume are needed at this concentration, multiply by 1,500 mL to
determine how many total milligrams are required.
0.1 mg/mL x 1500 mL = 150 mg
3. Which of the following would be most appropriate in a patient with HIV requiring PCP
(Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) prophylaxis?
A. Doxycycline
B. Bactrim
C. Erythromycin
D. Augmentin
Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim) is the drug of choice for PCP prophylaxis.
4. Which of the following medications for diabetes would carry the least risk of hypoglycemia?
A. Glucophage
B. Glucotrol
C. Lantus
D. Humalog
