Final answer:
To fulfill a prescription for 1 pound of triamcinolone 0.1% cream, 454 grams should be dispensed, using the conversion of 1 pound to 454 grams.
Explanation:
The question asks how many grams should be dispensed if a prescription order reads to dispense 1 pound of triamcinolone 0.1% cream. The prescription specifies that the cream is triamcinolone 0.1%, which means that for every 100 grams of the cream, 0.1 grams is triamcinolone.To convert pounds to grams, we use the conversion factor where 1 pound is equivalent to 454 grams. So, dispense 454 grams of the triamcinolone 0.1% cream.
This ensures that the prescription is filled correctly according to the doctor's order and standard conversion units.
