A patient is taking 2 calcium 8
carbonate tablets once daily. (Pg 76)
Each weighs 1,500 mg total
(non-elemental) weight. She
wishes to trade her calcium
tablets for the citrate form.
How many 750 mg citrate tablets
(by weight) will she need to
provide the same daily dose?
(Answer must be numeric; no
units or commas; round final
answer to the nearest WHOLE
tablet.)
A pharmacist dissolves 4 1.8
ketoconazole tablets, each pg 19
containing 200 mg, into a
ointment liquid base to prepare 45
mL of a topical solution. What is
the percentage strength (w/v) of
ketoconazole in the prescription?
(Answer must be numeric; no
units or commas; include a
leading zero when answer is less
than 1; round final answer to the
nearest TENTH.)
,Using the total energy 3599
expenditure (TEE) equation, Pg 49-50
calculate the total non-protein
caloric requirement for a patient
with third degree burns on 50%
of his body (stress factor 1.7).
The patient is a 58 year old male
who weighs 190 pounds and
measures 5'11" in height.
Activity factor is 1.2. The BEE
for this patient is 1,764
kcal/day, calculated using the
Harris-Benedict equation.
(Answer must be numeric; no
units or commas; round final
answer to the nearest WHOLE
number.)
A pharmacist has calculated that C
a patient requires 30 mmol of Pg 58
phosphate and 80 mEq of
potassium to be added to the
PN. How many milliliters of
potassium phosphate and
how many milliliters of
potassium chloride will be
required? [K- Phos is 3 mmol
Phosphate with 4.4 mEq K per
mL and KCl is 2 mEq/K per
mL.] Answer
A
