A patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml. What is the volume of distribution of this drug? Please round to the nearest liter.
A 10 mg/Kg dose of a drug is given by intravenous injection to a 20 Kg dog. What would the volume of distribution be if the drug had been given orally and only 50% of the drug was absorbed (the concentration of drug at time = 0 is 0.1 mg/L)? Be sure to show your work.
After oral administration of 10mg of a drug, 50% is absorbed and 40% of the amount absorbed is metabolized by the first pass effect. The bioavailable dose of this drug is ______. Make sure to provide units for your answer. Show your work.

After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites.
