Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
When the dose ordered by the physician (dose desired) is written in the same system as the dose on the drug container (dose on hand), the above formula is used for calculating the dose to be administered. When the physician is not available to calculate the dosage, the dosage is written in the apothecary system, and the label of the drug is in the metric system are circumstances in which it becomes necessary for the nurse to compute the drug dosage.
