3. Sodium lactate
Is the answer:
A. 1, 2 and 3 are correct
B. 1 and 2 are correct
C. 2 and 3 are correct
D. 1 only is correct
E. 3 only is correct
Hmm..... that is quite sad that I can still remember it actually! |
i did the exam last wk too, for that question tho i put b, cos if u look at page 813 in the bnf, in the blue box at the bottom it says that if it is compatible with sodium chloride 0.9% (which bumetanide is) then it will also be compatible with sodium chloride and glucose intravenous infusion. unless i'm reading it wrong.
i thought the exam was ok, i was pushed for time in the open bk but that was cos i spent ages trying to figure out how to do 2 of the calc questions, when i left them and went back to them near the end they were pretty simple. i hated the questions where u had to look up 5 diff drugs just to answer one question. it wasted so much time.
some of the questions were similar to the past papers, so i would advise to get a hold of loads of them and keep practising, also read the professional guidance bk! it was so hard to find stuff in there!
