Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
By multiplying the means and the extremes and then dividing the side with the x, the product or answer can be obtained. Ratio and proportion is a good way to solve most medication problems for mixing solutions in the OR.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Irrigation solutions must be poured in their entirety into a sterile basin. If the contents are not completely dispensed, the bottle is not to be recapped and saved for later use. Once the bottle is opened, the lip of the bottle has rendered the contents unsterile once pouring has started.
