Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Practice Question
How many days supply is in an Albuterol HFA inhaler (200 inhalations per canister) when the medication is to be inhaled 2 puffs every 4 hours? ÃŽ Caiculator
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the days' supply of an Albuterol HFA inhaler with 200 inhalations, we first calculate the total daily usage. Inhaling 2 puffs every 4 hours results in 12 puffs per day (2 puffs x 6 times).
Dividing the total inhalations by daily usage gives:
200 inhalations ÷ 12 puffs/day = 16.67 days, which rounds down to 16 days for practical purposes.
Option A (10 days) underestimates daily usage. Option C (30 days) overestimates, assuming less frequent use. Option D (90 days) is incorrect, as it suggests an unrealistic frequency of use. Thus, 16 days is the most accurate representation of the inhaler's supply.
