Explanation / Answer
22) A patient has been instructed to take 15mL of alumina and magnesium oral suspension every other hour for four doses daily. How many days will two 12-fl.oz. bottles of the suspension last?
V = 15 mL of alumina + magnesum
t = 1 per hour
Tmax = 4 h
V = 12 fl oz --> 354.882 mL
Number of doses per container= 354.882 / 15 = 23.6588 doses.. so he will finish it in the 24th dose
if 4 doses per day
24/4 = 6 days required to finish the flask
