Answer to Question 1

3
A single- or multiple-dose ampule labeled with a certain volume is a form of parenteral medica-tion. Calculate this as: Desired (50 mg)/Available (75 mg) = 0.66 mL.

Answer to Question 2

1
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) for children and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) for adults produce immunity against a variety of pneumococcal infections. Since Strepto-coccus pneumoniae is responsible for illnesses ranging from ear infections to meningitis, blood infections, and pneumonia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the po-lyvalent pneumococcal vaccines for all children and susceptible adults.
