Answer to Question 1

2
Drug calculations are required when the drug available is in a larger dose than that ordered. The medication desired is Lanoxin 0.125 mg, and the medication available is 0.25-mg. Divide 0.125 into 0.25 = 0.5 or 1/2 tablet.

Answer to Question 2

2
Laboratories can produce vaccines that contain either attenuated or killed antigens so that people can be immunized to prevent them from getting the disease.
