Q

How many mg codeine will be contained in each capsule?

Codeine.        0.6g
Guaifenesin.  1.2g
Caffeine.         0.15g
M. ft. Caps. No 24
Sig: one capsule TID PRN cough
A

Begin by converting to the units requested an answer (mg)
0.6g codeine x 1,000mg/1g = 600 mg codeine for the entire prescription

The prescription order is for 24 capsules

600mg codeine total/24 caps = 25 mg codeine/ capsule

31
Q

Physician write an order for Aminophylline 500 mg IV, dosed at 0.5 mg per kilogram per hour for a patient weighing 165 pounds. There is only theophylline in stock. How many milligrams of theophylline will the patient received per hour? Round to the nearest whole number

A

Aminophylline to theophylline: multiply by 0.8
Theophylline to Aminophylline: divide by 0.8
Use dimensional analysis
0.5mg/1kg | 75kg/1hr = 37.5 mg/HR Aminophylline

37.5 mg/HR Aminophylline x 0.8 = 30 mg/HR theophylline

32
Q

How many grains aspirin will be contained in each capsule? Round to the nearest tenth

aspirin.       6g
Phenacetin.3.2g
Caffeine.     0.48g
M. ft. No. 20 caps
sig: One capsule Q6H PRN pain
A

65mg =1 grain

6000mg/Xgrid = 65mg/1 gr 
X = 92.3 grains

92.3 grains/20 capsules = 4.6 grains/capsule

33

80g/1250g = Xg/ 100g

X= 6.4g, which is 6.4%

41
Q

A mouth rinse contains 1/12% (w/v) of chlorhexidine gluconate. How many grams of chlorhexidine gluconate should be used to prepare 18 L of mouth rinse? Round to the nearest whole number.

A

1/12% = 0.083g per 100mL (w/v)
18L x 1,000mL/L = 18,000mL

0.083g / 100mL = xg/ 18,000 mL

X= 14.94g, rounded to 15 g

42
Q

A pharmacist at 5.3 g of hydrocortisone to 150 g of a 2.5% hydrocortisone ointment. What is the percentage (w/w) of hydrocortisone in the finished product? Round to the nearest whole number.

A

First determine the amount of hydrocortisone in the current product.

  1. 5g HC / 100g = xg HC/150g. X=3.75hc
  2. 3 g of hydrocortisone is being added to the existing product which contains 3.75 g of hydrocortisone: 5.3g +3.75g =9.05g

9.05 g hc/ 155.3g ointment = xg hc/ 100g oint.
X= 5.8274 g, rounded to 6%

43
Q

How many milliliters of a hydrocortisone liquid (40mg/mL) Will be needed to prepare 30 g of an 0.25% cream (w/w)? Rounded to the nearest hundredth.

A

First calculate the amount of Hydrocortisone needed in the final product
0.25g/100g = xg/30g X= 0.075 g or 75 mg

Then solve for ML of Hydrocortisone liquid needed
40mg/ML = 75mg/xmL

X= 1.875 mL, reindeer to 1.88mL
