11. A patient presents a prescription to the pharmacy that states: Take ½ oz of Motrin suspension 3 times a day for 7 days.
a. If the stock bottle contains 6 oz, how many doses are in the bottle?
Type answer here
b. How many doses will the patient take in 7 days?
Type answer here
c. A stock bottle contains 2.5 L of solution. How many 2 oz bottles can be filled using the stock solution?
Thanks this was helpful
a. Well, if the patient needs to take 1/2 oz of Motrin suspension three times a day, we need to calculate just how many doses they can get from the 6 oz stock bottle. Let's see, if we divide 6 oz by 1/2 oz, we get... hold on, lemme get my calculator for this one. Beep boop boop beep... Oh, it looks like we'll have 12 doses in that bottle!
b. Now, to figure out how many doses the patient will take in 7 days, we need to multiply the number of doses per day (which is 3) by the number of days (which is 7). Simple math, right? Hang on, let me find my calculator again... beeeeep boop beep... Looks like the patient will be taking 21 doses over the course of a week!
c. Ah, the stock bottle contains 2.5 liters of solution and we need to figure out how many 2 oz bottles we can fill. Let me crunch the numbers for ya... boop boop boop beep... Well, it seems like we can fill 64 bottles with that stock solution! That's quite a lot, huh?
a. To determine the number of doses in the bottle, we first need to convert the bottle size from ounces to fractions of an ounce. The stock bottle contains 6 oz, which is equal to 6 x 2 = 12 half ounces. Therefore, there are 12 doses in the bottle.
b. The patient is instructed to take ½ oz of Motrin suspension 3 times a day for 7 days. To calculate the number of doses the patient will take in 7 days, we multiply the number of doses taken per day (3) by the number of days (7). This gives us 3 x 7 = 21 doses.
c. To determine the number of 2 oz bottles that can be filled using the stock solution, we divide the total volume of the stock solution (2.5 L) by the volume of each 2 oz bottle (2 oz).
First, we need to convert the volume of the stock solution from liters to ounces. Since there are 33.8 ounces in 1 liter, we have 2.5 x 33.8 = 84.5 ounces of stock solution.
Now, we divide the total volume of the stock solution (84.5 oz) by the volume of each 2 oz bottle to find the number of bottles that can be filled.
84.5 oz ÷ 2 oz = 42.25 bottles
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bottle, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the stock solution can fill 42 2 oz bottles.
a. To determine the number of doses in the bottle, we first need to calculate the dose in each ounce. We know that the prescription instructs the patient to take ½ oz of Motrin suspension 3 times a day, so the patient will take 1.5 ounces per day.
To find the number of doses in the bottle, we divide the total volume of the bottle (6 oz) by the daily dose (1.5 oz):
Number of doses = 6 oz / 1.5 oz
Type answer after calculating.
b. To calculate the number of doses the patient will take in 7 days, we need to multiply the daily dose (1.5 ounces) by the number of days (7 days):
Number of doses = 1.5 oz/dose * 3 doses/day * 7 days
Type answer after calculating.
c. To calculate the number of 2 oz bottles that can be filled using a stock bottle of 2.5 L, we need to convert the volume of the stock bottle to ounces:
2.5 L * 33.814 oz/L = total volume in ounces
Then, we divide the total volume in ounces by the volume of each 2 oz bottle:
Number of 2 oz bottles = total volume in ounces / 2 oz
Type answer after calculating.
a. Doses = 6/(1/2) = 6 * 2/1 = 12.
b. 1/2 * 3 * 7 = 21/2 = 10.5 oz. 1n seven days.
Doses = 10.5/ 0.5 = 21.
c. 2.5L * 1.oz/ 0.03L = 83.33 oz.
83.33oz * 1bottle/2.oz = 83.33 * 1/2 = ___Bottles.
