drug in solid (or powder) form mixed with a liquid solvent is considered a weight/volume
solution.

with sterile water to a total volume of 300 ml?
2% strength
0.5% strength
20% strength

g for every 100 ml, which is a 2% solution.
Normal saline in solution with albuterol is known as the solvent.
True
False - ANSWER>>True. A solution contains an active drug, which is the solute
dissolved in a solvent, such as sterile water or normal saline.
When calculating drug dosages based on a patient's weight in kilograms, a respiratory
therapist can use the BSA nomogram to convert from pounds to kilograms.
True
False - ANSWER>>False. The nomogram used to determine body surface area (BSA)
combines height and weight in a single measurement to determine a patient's overall
body size. If a drug dosage requires a specific number of units per patient weight in
kilograms, the factor-label method should be used to convert the patient's weight from
the English system to the metric system.
