How to find sensitivity
M = S/A
Amount of alcohol allowed for children < 6
0.5%
Amount of alcohol allowed for children 6-12
5%
Amount of alcohol allowed for children < 12
10%
20% rule
Must use 20% of device for accurate measurement
Suspensions can be given IV
True or False
False
Suspensions are \_\_\_ stable \_\_\_ concentration \_\_\_ alcohol compared to solutions
more stable
higher concentrations
no alcohol
