Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The amount of error acceptable in medicine doses should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The errors can be described as the difference in the value of the obtained data or value from the known data or value. The medicines are prescribed in specific doses for their proper action, however, in the manufacturing process, a small amount of error may occur.
Answer to Problem 127A
0.1%
Explanation of Solution
The dose of the medicine plays an important role in its action. Any change in the dose may hamper the result of the medicine, and sometime the change in doses may be life threatening. So, keeping the severity of accuracy of dose in the administration of the medicine, the chances of error should be almost zero. However, as the errors cannot be completely eliminated, scientific study have set standards of maximum error in dose to be 0.1%.
