**Question 39:**You are taking an 800-mg dose of an antibiotic every 8 hours. Your body eliminates 50% of the drug in 8 hours. How much of the drug will be in your system after three doses?**Explanation:**This question involves calculating the remaining amount of a drug in the system after multiple doses, taking into account the body's elimination rate.1. **Initial Dose (First Dose):** - Dose: 800 mg - After 8 hours, the body eliminates 50% of the drug. - Remaining drug after 8 hours: 800 mg * 0.5 = 400 mg2. **Second Dose:** - New dose after 8 hours: 800 mg - Total drug amount in the system right after the second dose: 400 mg (remaining from first dose) + 800 mg = 1200 mg - After the next 8 hours, the body eliminates 50% of the drug. - Remaining drug after 8 hours: 1200 mg * 0.5 = 600 mg3. **Third Dose:** - New dose after another 8 hours: 800 mg - Total drug amount in the system right after the third dose: 600 mg (remaining from second dose) + 800 mg = 1400 mg - After the next 8 hours, the body eliminates 50% of the drug. - Remaining drug after 8 hours: 1400 mg * 0.5 = 700 mgSo, after three doses, there will be **700 mg** of the drug in your system.
