Using abbreviations and the rules of the metric system, express the following quantities correctly: Six hundredth:

A) 600 g
This is incorrect because it represents the quantity 600 grams, which is a significantly larger amount than "six hundredth." The phrase "six hundredth" refers to six out of 100, or 0.06 in decimal form. In the metric system, 600 grams would indicate a much higher quantity, far from what is requested. Therefore, this option does not fit the definition of "six hundredth."

B) 0.06 g
The term "six hundredth" refers to six parts out of one hundred, which is mathematically expressed as 0.06. In the metric system, it is common to represent small quantities of mass, such as grams, in decimal form. The number 0.06 is precisely six hundredths, and the proper representation for this in terms of grams is 0.06 g. This is the correct scientific notation for the given quantity, as it accurately reflects six hundredths of a gram.

C) 0.006 g
This is incorrect because 0.006 grams represents six thousandths, not six hundredths. In decimal notation, six thousandths would be represented as 0.006, which is one order of magnitude smaller than six hundredths. The difference between 0.006 and 0.06 is significant. While both numbers are small, 0.006 would refer to an even smaller quantity than 0.06, which is not in line with the intended meaning of "six hundredth."

D) 0.6 g
While 0.6 grams may appear similar at first glance, it represents six-tenths (6/10), not six hundredths (6/100). The number 0.6 is much larger than 0.06, and it would be used to indicate a weight that is 60% of a gram, not a small fraction like six hundredths.

A) Gamma globulin
Gamma globulin is a blood product used to provide passive immunity by supplying antibodies to prevent or treat certain infections. It is not used for digitalis toxicity, so A is incorrect.

B) Cardizem
Cardizem (diltiazem) is a calcium channel blocker primarily used for controlling heart rate and treating conditions such as atrial fibrillation or angina. It is not used as an antidote for digoxin toxicity, so B is incorrect.

C) Protamine
Protamine is a medication used to reverse the effects of heparin, an anticoagulant. It works by neutralizing the anticoagulant activity of heparin, but it is not used to treat digitalis (digoxin) toxicity, so C is incorrect.

D) Digoxin immune fab
Digoxin immune fab is the specific antidote for digoxin toxicity. It consists of antibodies that bind to digoxin molecules, thereby neutralizing their toxic effects on the heart. This antidote is used when a patient exhibits severe symptoms of digoxin toxicity, such as arrhythmias or life-threatening effects on the heart. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
