Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Practice Question
Midazolam syrup 2 mg/mL needs to be repackaged into oral syringes each containing 10 mg. How many oral syringes can be prepared using 120 mL of this syrup?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine how many oral syringes can be prepared, first calculate the total amount of Midazolam in the syrup. With a concentration of 2 mg/mL in 120 mL, the total amount is 240 mg (2 mg/mL × 120 mL). Each oral syringe requires 10 mg. Dividing the total amount by the amount per syringe (240 mg ÷ 10 mg/syringe) yields 24 syringes.
Option A (5) is incorrect as it underestimates the total available dosage. Option B (12) also undercounts the syringes. Option D (60) overestimates the capacity, miscalculating the total amount of syrup.
