A 25 year old female patient has been taking ferrous sulphate for iron deficiency anaemia, she takes 200 mg three times a day. There is a manufacturing problem with ferrous sulphate and the patient has now been switched to ferrous gluconate tablets, two 300 mg tablets three times a day. Iron content of different iron salts Iron salt/amount Content of ferrous iron Ferrous gluconate 300mg 35mg Ferrous sulphate, dried 200mg 65mg What is the difference in the daily intake of ferrous iron in milligrams between the two regimes? units mg

Prednisone 5mg Quantity: CLXIV 5 tabs po qd x4 d, taper down by one tablet every 5 d for 15 d then ss po qd.   How many tablets should you dispense? this is the full question

Orders: Kphos 30 mmol in 100 mL NS over 4 hours via central line KCl 40 mEq in 100 mL NS over 2 hours via central line Mg gluconate in 9 g in 500 mL NS over 9 hours via central line   Solutions: K - 80mEq Phos - (0.32 x 86kg) = 27.52 or 30 mmol Mg - (0.1 x 86kg) = 8.6g or 9g Calcium corrected Ca - or ionized level = 8.1 + [{4-2.6} x 0.8] = 9.22   My questions are - HOW IS POTASSIUM (K) IS CALCULATED TO GET 80 mEq and How is Magnesium (Mg) is calculated?

the prescribed order is 120mg/m2/d * 14 days PO. How many grams will the patient who has a BSA of 1.4 m2 received in totals after this two week regimen?
