1) 1.32 mL 2) 2.64 mL 3) 12.0 mL 4) 26.4 mL
Correct Answer: 2.64 mL
Explanation: Required dose = 12 kg × 22 mg/kg = 264 mg. Volume = 264 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 2.64 mL.Page 1
Question 2: A 4.5-kg cat is to receive meloxicam at 0.1 mg/kg. The oral suspension contains 0.5 mg/mL. What volume provides the prescribed dose?
Choices:
1) 0.45 mL 2) 0.9 mL 3) 4.5 mL 4) 9.0 mL
Correct Answer: 0.9 mL
Explanation: Dose = 4.5 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 0.45 mg. Volume = 0.45 mg ÷ 0.5 mg/mL = 0.9 mL.Question 3: A 20-kg dog needs �uids at 60 mL/kg/day. What is the approximate hourly maintenance rate?
Choices:
1) 25 mL/hr 2) 50 mL/hr 3) 75 mL/hr 4) 120 mL/hr
