Question

question 8 (2.5 points) when determining a medication dose for drugs in tablets or capsules, the amount on hand is always 1. 1) true 2) false

Explanation:

When calculating medication doses for tablets or capsules, the "amount on hand" refers to the quantity of the drug in each unit (e.g., one tablet might have 500mg, so the amount on hand per unit is 500mg, not always 1 in a general sense. The formula for dose calculation is \(\text{Dose to give}=\frac{\text{Desired dose}}{\text{Amount on hand}}\times\text{Quantity}\), and "amount on hand" is the strength per unit (like mg per tablet), not always 1. So the statement is False.

Answer:

1. False
