Answer to Question 1

No. SW and bacteriostatic SW are not interchangeable. The bacteriostatic product has an agent, usually benzyl alcohol. The appropriate diluent would be obtained from the product label, prod-uct accompanying information, and/or a current drug reference, and/or the pharmacist.

Answer to Question 2

a. 1.2 mL
b. Two times the drug concentration (300 mg = 0.3 g)
c. 2.4 mL
DA equation:
d. Estimate supports answer. Equation is balanced.
