1. the ratio of weight of a given volume of a solution to the weight of the same volume of water, a measurement of density is called:

a: specific weight b: specific gravity
c: specific density d: specific size

Explanation:

1. Informed consent is generally required, but in cases of unconscious or emergency patients, immediate treatment may be necessary without prior consent. Minors (A) may have guardians give consent, incompetent adults (B) may have a legal representative, and emancipated adolescents (C) can often give consent.
2. Coronary artery disease is abbreviated as CAD. DAC (A) is not the standard, CDV (C) and CVS (D) are also incorrect.
3. In prescription notation, "gr" stands for grains. "xii" is 12 in Roman numerals. So gr xii means 12 grains.
4. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (A) mandated the new drug approval process. The Controlled Substance Act (B) deals with substances like narcotics, the Federal Safe Drug Amendment (C) is not the key act for new drug approval, and CDC (D) is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
5. Specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of a solution to the weight of the same volume of water (a measure of density). Specific weight (A) is weight per unit volume, specific density (C) is not the standard term, and specific size (D) is unrelated.

Answer:

1. D: unconscious or emergency patient
2. B: CAD
3. C: 12 grains
4. A: Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
5. B: specific gravity
