Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Practice Questions Practice Question
A prescription reads: Triamcinolone 0.1% cream Apply to trunk b.i.d. p.r.n. Disp. 1 lb How much cream should the patient receive?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the amount of cream the patient should receive, we first convert 1 lb to grams. Since 1 lb equals approximately 454 grams, option C (454 g) is accurate.
Option A (240 mg) is incorrect as it significantly underestimates the total amount, as 1 lb is much greater than 240 mg.
Option B (30 oz) is also incorrect; 1 lb is equivalent to 16 oz, not 30 oz.
Option D (2200 mL) is incorrect as well; this volume does not correlate with the weight of 1 lb when considering the density of the cream. Thus, 454 g is the correct conversion and reflects the prescribed amount.
