1 Q2 I) TRUE OR FALSE: 1) Dosage for elderly: start low, go slow…BUT don`t stop too soon. ( ) 2) Maximal tolerated dose: highest dose without toxic effects. ( ) 3) Maintenance dose: small daily dose required to replace eliminated drug from the body. ( ) 4) q.a.c. means nothing by mouth ( ) 5) Maximal tolerated dose: dose that kills the patient or an experimental animal. ( ) 6) Regarding teratogenicity, Valporic acid (antiepileptic), belongs to Category D. ( ) 7) Oxygen humidifier in the system of O2 administration measures the flow of O2 in liters/minute. ( ) 8) Endotracheal tube used for O2 administration in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). ( ) 9) Once oxygen indicated, it should be used continuously.
