Q

Calculations of ppm
Express 5 ppm of iron in water in percentage strength and ratio strength

A

PPM to percentage? think of 1 PPM as 1/1,000,000… which is 0.000001 or *100 = 0.0001%
.
So 5 PPM = 5/1,000,000 = 0.000005% or *100 = 0.0005%
.
LONG STORY SHORT = divide ppm/10,000

Q

BMI (kg/m2)

A

kg/m^2
or
lbs/inches^2 * 703

24
Q

Ideal Body Weight (IBW) male? female?

A

IBW (males) = 50 kg + (2.3 kg)(number of inches over 5 feet)
.
IBW (females) = 45.5 kg + (2.3 kg)(number of inches over 5 feet)

25
Q

AdjBW

A

IBW + 0.4(TBW – IBW)

26
Q

CrCl (mL/min)

A
27
Q

Mean, Median and Mode

A

Mean - the average value
.
Median - the value in the middle of an ordered list
.
Mode - the value that occurs most frequently

28
Q

Relative Risk (RR)

A

suck in treatment/ suck in control

29
Q

Relative Risk Reduction (RRR)

A

%SC-%ST/ %SC * 100

30
Q

Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR)

A

ARR = (% risk in control group) – (% risk in treatment group) .. . think of top RRR *100

31
Q

NNT (ROUND UP)

A

1/ %SC-%ST

32
Q

Odds Ratio (OR)

A
33
Q

Sensitivity and Specificity

A
34
Q

Pack year smoking hx

A

cig packs/day * years smoked

35
Q

Incremental cost ratio

A

C2-C1/ E2-E1

c= cost
e= effects

36
Q

Minimum weighable quantity MWQ

A

MWQ = sensitivity requirement/ acceptable error rate (usually 0.05)

37
Q

Bioavailability (F)

A

F% = 100* AUC extra/AUC intra * Dose intra/Dose extra

38
Q

Volume of distribution

A

Vd = amount of drug in body (in mg) / conc of drug in plasma (peak level in mg/L)

39
Q

Clearance (CI)

A

CI = Fdose/ AUC
or
CI = keVd

40
Q

Half life t1/2

A

t1/2 = 0.693/ke

41
Q

Loading Dose

A

(desired conc * Vd) / F

42
Q

Common Valance to know?

A
43
Q

of particles dissociation?

A
44
Q

IV dose to oral dose formula?

A

IV dose = oral dose * (bioavailability/ 100)

45
Q

mg to dL
.
ml to dL

A

1 mg = 0.01dL
.
mL —> dL (ml * 100) 100mL is 1 dL

46
Q

mcg to mg

A

1 micrograms (mcg) is equal to 0.001 milligrams (mg). Conversely, 1 milligrams (mg) is equal to 1000 micrograms (mcg).

50
Q

NNT/NNH

A

NNT = round up
NNH = round down

51
Q

1 ppm to mg?

A

1 ppm = 1 mg per liter

52
Q

Million

A

1,000,000 (6 zeros)

53
Q

Young’s rule

A
54
Q

Density

A

Density = mass/volume (g/mL)
.
SIMILAR TO SG!!!!

55
Q

Specific Volume

A

Volume of substance (mL sub) / Volume of equal weight of water (mL h20)

56
Q

From the following formula for 40 sertraline capsules, calculate the factor that would be used if a pharmacist wished to prepare 250 capsules

A

Factor = want/give
.
F = 250/40 = 6.25
so wanna know gram needed? x 6.25!
