RX:
Chlorpheniramine 100 ml
Lidocaine 2 oz
Banana flavoring 1 tsp
Take 7ml BID
Refrigerator medication at 40°F.
1. What is the final volume in ml?
2. Convert: 40°F = ______ °C=4
3. How many 1oz bottles will this solution fill?
4. How many days will this solution last?
5. How many total doses are in this prescription?
6. If two times the amount of Chlorpheniramine was used for this prescription, how many 4 ounce (oz) bottles will the solution fill.
1. To calculate the final volume in ml, we need to add up the volumes of each ingredient.
Chlorpheniramine: 100 ml
Lidocaine: 2 oz = 59.15 ml (since 1 oz = 29.57 ml)
Banana flavoring: 1 tsp (volume in ml is not given, so we'll assume it's negligible)
Therefore, the total volume is 100 ml + 59.15 ml + negligible volume = 159.15 ml (final volume).
2. To convert 40°F to °C, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) * 5/9.
Plugging in the value: °C = (40 - 32) * 5/9.
Simplifying: °C = 8 * 5/9 = 40/9 ≈ 4.44 °C (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Therefore, 40°F is approximately equal to 4.44 °C.
3. One ounce (oz) is approximately equivalent to 29.57 ml (already calculated in point 1).
To find how many 1oz bottles this solution can fill, we divide the total volume (159.15 ml) by the volume of one bottle.
Dividing: 159.15 ml / 29.57 ml ≈ 5.38.
Therefore, this solution can fill approximately 5.38 one-ounce bottles, but since we can't have partial bottles, the answer is 5 one-ounce bottles.
4. To find the number of days this solution will last, we need to know the dosage frequency and the amount taken each time.
The prescription says to take 7 ml twice a day (BID). So, the total amount taken per day is 7 ml * 2 = 14 ml.
Dividing the total volume (159.15 ml) by the amount taken per day (14 ml) will give us the number of days the solution will last.
Dividing: 159.15 ml / 14 ml ≈ 11.37.
Therefore, the solution will last approximately 11.37 days. Since we can't have partial days, the answer is 11 days.
5. To calculate the total number of doses in this prescription, we need to know the dosage frequency and the amount taken each time.
The prescription says to take 7 ml twice a day (BID), so the number of doses per day is 2.
Multiplying the number of doses per day (2) by the number of days (11) will give us the total number of doses.
Multiplying: 2 * 11 = 22.
Therefore, there are a total of 22 doses in this prescription.
6. If two times the amount of Chlorpheniramine was used for this prescription, we need to double the amount of Chlorpheniramine, which is currently 100 ml.
Doubling: 100 ml * 2 = 200 ml.
To find how many 4 oz bottles this solution can fill, we need to convert the volume to ounces and divide by 4 (since 1 oz = 29.57 ml).
Converting the volume: 200 ml / 29.57 ml ≈ 6.76 oz.
Dividing: 6.76 oz / 4 oz ≈ 1.69.
Therefore, this solution with double the amount of Chlorpheniramine can fill approximately 1.69 four-ounce bottles. Since we can't have partial bottles, the answer is 1 four-ounce bottle.
