Question 1

Prepare 4:1 water and vinegar soak for both feet.

Answer 1

4 mL : 1 mL = x mL : 1000
x = 4000
4000 mL of water added to 1000 mL is 4:1 water-vinegar solution

Question 2

Prepare 4000 mL of a 0.9% NaCl solution.

Answer 2

0.9 g : 100 mL = x mL : 4000 mL
100x = 3600
x = 36
36 g of NaCl in 4000 mL makes a 0.9% NaCl solution.

Question 3

Prepare 16 oz of a 0.25% sodium hypochlorite solution from a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution. Use sterile water as the solvent.

Answer 3

16 oz = 480 mL; may use 500 mL
0.25% of 0.5% = x mL : 500 mL remember % means "per 100, in this case 100 mL"
0.25 mL : 0.5 mL = x mL : 500 mL
0.5x = 125 mL
x = 250 mL
250 mL of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite added to 250 mL of water to make 0.25% sodium hypochlorite solution.

Question 4

Prepare a mouth rinse of NaCl (salt) 2.5 g and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) 2.5 g in 240 mL H2O. Change from metric to household conversion.

Question 5

Prepare a sodium hypochlorite solution 0.25% from 24 mL bleach and 960 mL sterile water. Change from metric to household conversion.

Question 6

Prepare a 1:2 infant formula using 8 oz of boiled water and a 9 g scoop for the dry formula. How many scoops of dry formula are needed?

Question 7

Prepare a 1:2 infant formula using 2 oz of boiled water and a 9 g scoop for the dry formula. How many scoops of the dry formula are needed?

Question 8

Prepare a 2% boric acid eye wash solution using 250 mL of boiled water.
