Answer:

D. "Sucralfate has a moderate acid-neutralizing capacity."

Explanation:

Sucralfate is used to treat peptic ulcers in combination with other drugs. It reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and forms a viscous material by mechanism of cross-linking. This material has paste like consistency and forms a protective barrier on ulcers by attaching with the proteins on ulcer surface. The barrier does not allow further harm due to action of acid on ulcer. It also does not allow the diffusion of hydrogen ions back into stomach cells. But it is not involved in neutralizing the acid and increasing the pH of stomach. It can show minor antacid activity but that it not considered clinically significant.

A patient requires 80 mg of Risperidone the stock dose is 40 mg/10ml what volume is required​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

20 ml

Explanation:

The stock dose stipulates that there are 40 mg for every 10 ml of the Risperidone. Moreover, we are told that the patient requires 80 mg of this drug and we are to determine the corresponding volume that should be administered. In order to determine the volume, we use the following relation;

40 mg is equivalent to 10 ml

what about 80 mg?

40 mg = 10 ml

80 mg = ?

We cross multiply;

( 80* 10) / 40 = 800/40 = 20 ml

Thus, the required volume of the prescription is 20 ml
