### Problem 2
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate total daily dose
$1.5\ 	ext{mg} 	imes 3 = 4.5\ 	ext{mg}$
## Step2: Find number of 0.5mg tablets
$\frac{4.5\ 	ext{mg}}{0.5\ 	ext{mg/tablet}} = 9$
# Answer:
9 tablets

---

### Problem 3
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify given dose and concentration
Dose = $500\ 	ext{mg}$, Concentration = $\frac{125\ 	ext{mg}}{5\ 	ext{mL}}$
## Step2: Calculate required volume
$\frac{500\ 	ext{mg}}{125\ 	ext{mg}} 	imes 5\ 	ext{mL} = 20\ 	ext{mL}$
# Answer:
20 mL

---

### Problem 4
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find single dose amount
$\frac{80\ 	ext{mEq}}{2} = 40\ 	ext{mEq}$
## Step2: Calculate volume per dose
$\frac{40\ 	ext{mEq}}{40\ 	ext{mEq}} 	imes 15\ 	ext{mL} = 15\ 	ext{mL}$
# Answer:
15 mL per dose

---

### Problem 5
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate single dose volume
$\frac{50\ 	ext{mg}}{10\ 	ext{mg/mL}} = 5\ 	ext{mL}$
## Step2: Convert mL to teaspoons (1 tsp=5mL)
$\frac{5\ 	ext{mL}}{5\ 	ext{mL/tsp}} = 1\ 	ext{tsp}$
# Answer:
1 teaspoon

---

### Problem 6
# Explanation:
## Step1: Convert dose to mg
$2.25\ 	ext{g} = 2250\ 	ext{mg}$
## Step2: Calculate required volume
$\frac{2250\ 	ext{mg}}{500\ 	ext{mg/mL}} = 4.5\ 	ext{mL}$
# Answer:
4.5 mL

---

### Problem 7
# Explanation:
## Step1: Convert height to inches
$7\ 	ext{ft} 	imes 12 + 1 = 85\ 	ext{in}$, weight = $325\ 	ext{lb}$
## Step2: Use BSA formula (Mosteller)
$	ext{BSA} = \sqrt{\frac{	ext{height(in)} 	imes 	ext{weight(lb)}}{3131}} = \sqrt{\frac{85 	imes 325}{3131}} = \sqrt{\frac{27625}{3131}} \approx \sqrt{8.82} \approx 2.97\ 	ext{m}^2$
# Answer:
$\approx 3.0\ 	ext{m}^2$

---

### Problem 8
# Explanation:
## Step1: Convert units (1kg=2.2lb, 1cm=0.3937in)
Weight = $52\ 	ext{kg}$, Height = $160\ 	ext{cm} = 62.99\ 	ext{in}$
## Step2: Use Mosteller BSA formula
$	ext{BSA} = \sqrt{\frac{62.99 	imes (52 	imes 2.2)}{3131}} = \sqrt{\frac{62.99 	imes 114.4}{3131}} = \sqrt{\frac{7206.06}{3131}} \approx \sqrt{2.30} \approx 1.52\ 	ext{m}^2$
# Answer:
$\approx 1.5\ 	ext{m}^2$

---

### Problem 9
# Explanation:
## Step1: Convert weight to kg
$148\ 	ext{lb} \div 2.2 \approx 67.27\ 	ext{kg}$
## Step2: Calculate total daily dose
$6\ 	ext{mg/kg} 	imes 67.27\ 	ext{kg} 	imes 2 = 807.24\ 	ext{mg}$
## Step3: Find number of tablets
$\frac{807.24\ 	ext{mg}}{200\ 	ext{mg/tablet}} \approx 4.04$
# Answer:
4 tablets (rounded to whole tablet)

---

### Problem 10
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate total daily dose
$200\ 	ext{mg/m}^2 	imes 1.34\ 	ext{m}^2 	imes 2 = 536\ 	ext{mg}$
## Step2: Calculate required volume
$\frac{536\ 	ext{mg}}{5\ 	ext{mg/mL}} = 107.2\ 	ext{mL}$
# Answer:
107.2 mL

---

### Problem 11
# Explanation:
## Step1: Match order to label strength
Order = $333\ 	ext{mg}$, Tablet strength = $333\ 	ext{mg}$
## Step2: Determine number of tablets
$\frac{333\ 	ext{mg}}{333\ 	ext{mg/tablet}} = 1$
# Answer:
1 tablet per dose
