The physician ordered 50 mL of 1:20 W/V solution, diluted to 1000 mL. What is the ratio strength of W/V?
1:200
1:300
1:400
1:500
1:400
Rationale: The ratio strength of W/V is 1:400 . To calculate, begin with 1:20 = 5%. Therefore, 50 mL x 5% = 1000 mL x X%. This gives: 2.5 = 1000 x X%. Dividing by 1000 produces X = 0.25% or 1:400.

The wife of a military veteran with PTSD states that her husband became a type II diabetic 10 years after returning from combat.

Consequently, she believes the diabetes is resultant from his experience in the military. Your response would be:
A) "The diabetes is most likely a result of undiagnosed traumatic brain injury, not the PTSD." B) "It is not uncommon for combat veterans to unexplainably develop such conditions like this." C) "I think we have to suspect that he sustained an injury to his pancreas at some point." D) "Not that it cannot happen, but era veterans, not combat veterans, typically develop diabetes."
