Question

1. if the label on a multi - dose vial of medication reads 80 mg. per cc. and you were to prepare a 20 mg. injection you would draw up:

a: 0.2 cc
b: 0.5 cc
c: 0.25 cc
d: 0.8 cc

1. the specified amount and quantity of the drug to be taken at one time is:

a: dosage
b: dispensing
c: efficacy
d: formulation

1. hazardous warning label that represents a flammability hazard are identified by what color?

a: white
b: red
c: blue
d: yellow

1. the regulatory and licensing agency of the state is usually known as:

a: state medical board
b: board of pharmacy
c: center for disease control
d: hospital association

1. an agent which affects blood pressure by increasing the flow of urine and thus reducing the volume of fluid in the body is called:

a: emetic
b: diuretic
c: depressant
d: cathartic

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Let \(x\) be the volume in cc. We know that the concentration is \(80\) mg per cc. So the proportion is \(\frac{80\space mg}{1\space cc}=\frac{20\space mg}{x\space cc}\).

Step2: Cross - multiply and solve for \(x\)

Cross - multiplying gives \(80x = 20\times1\). Then \(x=\frac{20}{80}\). Simplifying \(\frac{20}{80}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25\).

• Question 47: Dosage refers to the specified amount and quantity of a drug to be taken at one time. Dispensing is the act of giving out a drug. Efficacy is the ability of a drug to produce a desired effect. Formulation is the way a drug is made (e.g., combination of ingredients).
• Question 48: In hazard labeling, red is commonly used to indicate flammability. White is not a standard color for flammability labels. Blue is often used for health - related hazards. Yellow is used for other types of hazards (e.g., reactivity in some systems).
• Question 49: The Board of Pharmacy is the regulatory and licensing agency for pharmacy - related activities in a state. The State Medical Board regulates medical doctors. The Center for Disease Control is a national (in the US context) public health agency. The Hospital Association is a professional organization, not a regulatory body.
• Question 50: A diuretic increases urine flow, reducing fluid volume in the body and can affect blood pressure. An emetic causes vomiting. A depressant slows down bodily functions. A cathartic causes bowel movements.

Answer:

C. \(0.25\) cc
