Do you know the answers??? (HAVE THE SOLUTION THANKS)

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

3 questions that I could use answers to:

 

 

 

Your patient needs a liquid medication; the bottle contains 200mls of the medication. You need to give 30% of what is in the bottle. How many mls do you give to the patient?

The doctor’s order reads start 1 liter of Plasmalyte with 2.5% dextrose. How much Plasmalyte do you remove?

And how much Dextrose do you add if your Dextrose is a 50% solution?

I don't see any questions.

Sorry-It showed when I previewed-I guess I didn't follow through.

The answer to your first question would be 60 ml would be 30% of 200ml. Your second and third questions are a bit confusing. Question 2 regarding the plasmalyte does not give enough information and question 3 does not make sense either. If you are trying to get to a 2.5% dextrose solution from a 50% dextrose solution you would need to dilute the solution as the concentration of dextrose is much higher than 2.5%. Removing dextrose would have the opposite effect plus a solution usually is already mixed so removal of dextrose would mean evaporating off the liquid portion and I do not know what is in the liquid portion as we do not have enough information.

I got the first one, the other 2 are why I posted it.

What brought these questions up? Are you looking at a job application cause I just found one with similar questions?

I may be missing the point but I think you would give 67 ml.

I think the Plasmalyte with 2.5% dextrose is a prepared solution and so I'd just start the solution.

The last question makes no sense. If you want a 50% dextrose solution you already have it. How much would you add for what?

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Yes F That's why I need it!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Well, I'd politely tell them that the third question makes no sense and I'm not sure the second one does either. You would need to add Plasmalyte, without glucose , to bring the percentage of glucose down. So I'd dilute the solution by 100%. For example, if I had one amount of Plasmalyte with %0% glucose I'd add another equal amount without glucose to make a 2.5% dextrose in Plasmalyte solution. Hope this helps..

So that would make 2 & 3 trick questions? I'm afraid to answer them!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I can understand but those are what my answers would be. I'd say for the second question that I would add not remove Plasmalyte and the third I'd say that the question doesn't really make sense. I do think they seem to be trick questions. Have you trained to be a vet tech?

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Nope I was applying for the customer service LOL!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Then I think you don't have to answer the questions. Is it for Lakeside or something like that?

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Lakeshore Vet They are opening another one near my house. 

Those 3 questions come up right on the application form to be sent online. So who knows. This application is a shot in the dark anyway.
