Exercise 71

Many times medications come in different dosage strengths. (Recall the dosage strength is the dose on hand per dosage unit.) If you do not look at the label carefully, you can easily select the wrong medication and/or calculate the amount to administer incorrectly. Search the Internet for at least three medications, other than ones found in this chapter, that come in different dosage strengths. List each medication and its various dosage strengths.
