The physcian orders ascorbic acid 0.25mg IM for your patient admitted with an alcohol problem. You have ascorbic acid 500mg/mL. How many milliliters will you administer?
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient
has this condition, her doctors take a 18.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with
4.85 × 10-4 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 1.26 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it.
Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might
otherwise interfere with the titration.
pH =
For the patient to be suffering from hypochloridia, the pH of the gastric juices from the stomach must be greater than pH 4.
Does the patient have hypochloridia?

no
yes
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has
this condition, her doctors take a 18.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 3.94 x 10-4 M KOH. The
gastric juice sample required 6.60 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it.
Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise
interfere with the titration.

- You receive a prescription for Epanutin® Suspension. The patient normally takes 150mg daily in capsule form, however he has recently started to have difficulty in swallowing them. The doctor asks you to check that the Epanutin® Capsules and Suspension are equivalent to each other. The following information is extracted from the BNF. Dose equivalence and conversion Preparations containing phenytoin sodium are not bioequivalent to those containing phenytoin base (such as Epanutin® suspension); 100 mg of phenytoin sodium is approximately equivalent in therapeutic effect to 92 mg phenytoin base.
