Pharmacology Formulas are High Yield
For this I would point you to pg. 209 of First Aid 2007, there you would find all the formulas you will need.
If I was to ask you this,
"An extremely old medication used by African witch doctors for curing one's "voodoo" is being studied in NIH labs for a possible benificial effect in the treatment of beningin prostatic hyperplasia. The drug is initially studied on 2 rats with enlarged prostates (poor fellows), Rat A and Rat B.
I now, as the question writer proceed to write of bunch of BS and you'll want to read through this and tag it as such real fast on exam day
Rat A and B were born from the same mothers and both have lived in the same cage and blah blah blah and (end BS)
It is calculated that Rat A has a clearance time of 60 seconds where as rat B has a clearance time of one minute and 50 seconds.
Now I ask you this:
1) Given the same dose of the African drug, which of the following must be different.
2) If the 2 rats are found to have the same rate of elimination, which of the following explains the difference in clearance.
