Answer #1

Q.10.Ordered. dose=2.5 V daily

Patient's weight= 98 kg

Hence required= 98X 2.5 = 245 mg

Theraupatic dosage range=25-30 mcg/kg/day

=2540- 2940 mcg will be dosage range per day

Hence option B is correct

Q.11. ordered dose is =2.5 mg

Or 2500 mcg

Which is within above therapeutic dose i.e. 2540to 2940

Hence this ordered dose is therapeutic dosage

Hence it is totally true
