Answer 1

Ans:-

31.

D,

Prozac,

Out of the patient's medications prozac is a diuretic.

32.

3 ml, we need to call into the pharmacy for a 1 month because we are given him depo- testosterone once a week and in 1 month we have 4 weeks so we will order for 4 weeks.

For 1 week we need = ordered dose/ quantity in hand× dilution (ml).

150/200×1= 0.75ml.

So,0.75 ml is for 1 week,

Then for 4 weeks = 0.75×4=3ml.

33.

D,

The kidneys,

Kidneys do diuretic effect thus causing their ability to decrease blood volume.

34.

C,

Yes, it is treating the cause of your hypertension, this statement will be the correct answer of Francois 's question, as we know that we are giving him the medications to treat his hypertension.
