Answer to Question 1

C
Twenty mg of Prozac multiplied by three results in the calculated 60-mg daily dose ordered by the physician. Each 5 mL contains 20 mg. Five mL multiplied by three equals the liquid dosage of 15 mL.

Anorexia is characterized by low caloric and nutritional intake. Bulimia is characterized by episodic, rapid indigestion of large quantities of food, followed by purging.
