Virazole is supplied in a powder form that must be mixed with normal saline or sterile
water prior to nebulization. This type of solution represents a:
Solid/solvent
Weight/volume
Liquid/solute
Volume/volume - ANSWER>>Weight/volume. A drug solution that consists of the active
drug in solid (or powder) form mixed with a liquid solvent is considered a weight/volume
solution.

A rescue dosage of surfactant calls for 3 ml/kg body weight. If a premature infant weighs
1,500 g, how many milliliters are needed?
5.0 ml
9.0 ml
0.45 ml
4.5 ml - ANSWER>>4.5 ml. You first convert the baby's weight from grams to kilograms.
Then you determine how many milliliters are needed if the required dosage is 3 ml per
kilogram by multiplying 3 by the weight in kg (3 ml x 1.5 kg).
What strength of drug would be administered if 6 g of active ingredient is reconstituted
with sterile water to a total volume of 300 ml?
2% strength
0.5% strength
20% strength
50% strength - ANSWER>>2% strength. 6 g of active ingredient in 300 ml represents 2
g for every 100 ml, which is a 2% solution.
Normal saline in solution with albuterol is known as the solvent.
True
False - ANSWER>>True. A solution contains an active drug, which is the solute
dissolved in a solvent, such as sterile water or normal saline.

When calculating drug dosages based on a patient's weight in kilograms, a respiratory
therapist can use the BSA nomogram to convert from pounds to kilograms.
True
False - ANSWER>>False. The nomogram used to determine body surface area (BSA)
combines height and weight in a single measurement to determine a patient's overall
body size. If a drug dosage requires a specific number of units per patient weight in
kilograms, the factor-label method should be used to convert the patient's weight from
the English system to the metric system.
How many mg of active ingredient are there in 3 mL of a 0.083% solution of albuterol? -
ANSWER>>3 x .83mg = 2.49 mg (convert 0.083g to .83mg)
A metaproterenol sulfate unit dose contains 2.5 mL of a 0.6% solution. How many
milligrams of active ingredient are present in this unit dose? - ANSWER>>2.5 x 6mg =
15 mg (convert 0.6g to 6mg)
If a drug order is written for 0.25 mg/kg of body weight, what dosage would be
administered to a patient weighing 88 lb? - ANSWER>>88/2.2=40, 40 x .25 = 10mg
The physician order reads "Administer 5 mg metaproterenol via inhalation route with a
small volume nebulizer." How many milliliters of a 1% solution should be used? -
ANSWER>>5 x .1 = 0.5 mL
