The Correct Answer is B
The correct answer is choice B. 31. To find the number of bottles required, use the formula: (dose x frequency x duration) / (bottle size x bottle concentration).

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Robitussin DM contains 100 mg of guaifenesin per 1 teaspoon. One teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters, so 100 mg is present in 5 mL. Therefore, 10 mL of Robitussin DM contains 2 times the amount of guaifenesin in 1 teaspoon or 200 mg.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To determine the mL per dose of heparin, we can use the following formula:
mL per dose = (total units needed) / (concentration of heparin in units/mL). Substituting the values given in the
Question :.
mL per dose = 10,000 units / 20,000 units/mL = 0.5 mL per dose.
Therefore, the client should receive 0.5 mL per dose of heparin from the vial containing a concentration of 20,000 units/mL.
