Answer to Question 1

Humulin

Answer to Question 2

chloride 103
glucose 250
calcium 9.3
free T4 0.8
Metaglip 2.5/250 mg
Note: Potassium should be transcribed with the trailing zero to indicate the preciseness of the value. Since potassium has such a narrow normal range, the decimal is significant and is almost always dictated. This may not be obvious to the student and they may list potassium as transcribed incorrectly.
