Answer :
Of course! Let's break down each question step-by-step.
### Question 1:
A patient is prescribed two 200 mg tablets every 6 hours. How many milligrams would the patient take in 24 hours?
1. Each dose is two tablets of 200 mg each, so that's [tex]\(2 \times 200 = 400\)[/tex] mg per dose.
2. The patient takes a dose every 6 hours. In 24 hours, that's [tex]\(24 \div 6 = 4\)[/tex] doses.
3. Therefore, in 24 hours, the patient would take [tex]\(4 \times 400 = 1600\)[/tex] mg.
Answer: 1600 mg.
### Question 2:
Acetaminophen has a limit of 2000 mg in a day for patients with liver issues or alcoholism. How many 650-mg acetaminophen extra-strength tablets can they take in a day without exceeding the limit?
1. The daily limit is 2000 mg.
2. Each tablet is 650 mg.
3. To find out how many tablets can be taken without exceeding 2000 mg: [tex]\( 2000 \div 650 \approx 3\)[/tex] (since the maximum whole number of tablets is needed without exceeding the limit).
Answer: 3 tablets.
### Question 3:
A patient is prescribed 30 tablets a month and has five refills left. How many total tablets does the prescription call for over 6 months?
1. The monthly prescription is 30 tablets.
2. There are 6 months to consider, during which 30 tablets are prescribed each month: [tex]\(6 \times 30 = 180\)[/tex] tablets.
3. Additionally, there are five refills left: [tex]\(5 \times 30 = 150\)[/tex] tablets.
4. Adding the tablets for the 6 months and the refills together, we get [tex]\(180 + 150 = 330\)[/tex] tablets.
Answer: 330 tablets.
### Question 4:
A provider can convert Duragesic 50 micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg). If there are 1000 micrograms in a milligram, how many milligrams is 50 mcg of Duragesic?
1. There are 1000 mcg in 1 mg.
2. To convert 50 mcg to mg, divide by 1000: [tex]\( \frac{50}{1000} = 0.05\)[/tex] mg.
Answer: 0.05 mg.
### Question 5:
There are 180 mcg of albuterol in every two puffs. How many mcg of medicine will a patient take if they use two puffs every 6 hours for a single day? How many milligrams will that number represent?
1. Each dose of two puffs contains 180 mcg.
2. A dose is taken every 6 hours, so there are [tex]\(24 \div 6 = 4\)[/tex] doses in a day.
3. The total amount of albuterol in a day is [tex]\(4 \times 180 = 720\)[/tex] mcg.
4. To convert mcg to mg, divide by 1000: [tex]\( \frac{720}{1000} = 0.72\)[/tex] mg.
Answer: 720 mcg or 0.72 mg.
With all steps clearly outlined, you should have a clear understanding of how the values were obtained.
