Question

You have received a prescription to prepare mouth wash using the following ingredients: Viscous lidocaine 2% 30ml Maslow 60 ml Diphenhydramine use on hand 12.5mg/5ml elixir 75mg carafate 1gm/10ml 40 ml what is the final volume in mL?

Answer 1

The final volume of the prescription mouthwash is calculated by adding the volumes of each component, resulting in 160 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about calculating the final volume of a mouthwash mixture when given the volumes of individual components. To find the final volume in mL, you would simply add up the volumes of viscous lidocaine 2% (30 mL), Maslow (an assumed typo, likely another liquid ingredient, 60 mL), Diphenhydramine elixir (to deliver 75 mg, based on a concentration of 12.5 mg/5 mL, we would need 30 mL), and carafate (40 mL, based on the provided concentration). Therefore, the final volume of the mouthwash would be 30 mL + 60 mL + 30 mL + 40 mL = 160 mL.
