100x60/325 = 18.46%

35.(c). 32cc. Permapen is available as a prefilled
syringe (1.2MU/2cc). A prescription requires 2.4MU,
and therefore:

MU ml
First, we need to subtract 70 from 100, which will 1.2 2cc
give us 30 parts (0% alcohol or water), and 0 from 2.4 ?
70, which will give us 70 parts (100% alcohol).
2.4x2cc/1.2 = 4cc
Thus, 100 parts (70% alcohol) consist of 70 parts
(100% alcohol) and 30 parts (0% alcohol or water). If A patient is using it twice a week and therefore a
one week supply should be = 4cc x 2 = 8cc.
we mix in this proportion then we will get 70%

A 30-day (4 weeks) supply would be 8cc x 4 = 32cc.

100 parts 70 parts suspension is available as 125mg/5cc; therefore, to
1000 cc ? dispense 200mg of Phenytoin: 200mg x 5cc/125mg
= 8cc are required.
1000x70/100 = 700cc, 100 % alcohol. Similarly to dispense 500mg of Phenytoin: 500mg x
5cc/125mg = 20cc are required.
We can also find the amount of water required by
simply subtracting 700cc from the total of 1000cc = Therefore, the total daily dose in cc should be 28cc.
1000cc-700cc = 300cc water.
