I tried researching and everything but its a tad confusing. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bn96nsa0snba0x0/Screen shot 2014-11-20 at 5.47.05 PM.png?dl=0

What are your answers so far? There's no way you need help with all of this. Some of these are way easy.

 

[MyRealNameIs]

Yeah... we are not going to do your entire hw for you. At least make an effort to answer questions. Like the above poster said, pretty sure you are smart enough to do at least some of them.

 

[Alittleconfused1124]

I am only having trouble with number 3

I dont need the rude comment, i was just wondering if the original poster got help. I did all but number 3

Hey, you got me there. I've never seen albuterol as an oral liquid. So maybe the questions is not so simple...dunno, as the original dropbox file is gone. If you still need to do the question, post the entire question and I will help.

 

[Alittleconfused1124]

This is the one

Sry. It's "prescription #4" that I don't have. (Looks like it was posted above, but isn't there anymore.)

Albuterol does come as an oral liquid. I can't see the original file to be able to help you out further. Sorry.

3. Fill prescription #4. There are two medications on this one prescription - which is legal. Use a 4 oz bottle for the albuterol (albuterol is available 2mg/5ml). Remember the each medication must have its own label and prescription number. (Use the training liquid/suspension)

a. How much albuterol was dispensed?

100 mL
(There are 2 mg in 5 mL, times two doses per day, times 10 days, so 5 * 2*10 = 100)

b. What did the label look like for the cream?

Your sig is right: Apply to rash three times a day as needed
I guess you can figure out what else (drug name, strength, patient, etc.) needs to be on the label

c. What did the label look like for the albuterol?

The sig should say: Give 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) by mouth twice a day for 10 days
If it's for an adult patient: Take 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) by mouth twice a day for 10 days

Did you get the same answer?
