A woman weighing 68 kg drinks the equivalent of 60 g of ethanol. Her peak plasma concentration was found to be 1.91 g/L.

1. What is the value of V_D for ethanol in this example?

2. Assume that the womanâs weight is 63% water. How does the weight of water in her body and the V_D value compare? What does this mean in terms of the distribution of ethanol?

7. A drug has a plasma half-life of 2.4 hours. If the peak plasma concentration of this drug is 38.1 Î¼g/L, how much time will elapse before the plasma concentration reaches 10.0 Î¼g/L? Report your result in hours with 1 decimal place.

8. Fentanyl is an opiate that is about 10x as potent as morphine for pain relief. A plasma concentration of 15-20Î¼g/L is usually fatal. A person is found non-responsive with 13 fentanyl patches surrounding them. Each patch has 100Î¼g total fentanyl. Frequently, the patches are scaped and the contents "smoked" to deliver the drug directly to the bloodstream. If this person did so (using all the patches), what would be the peak plasma concentration of fentanyl? Asume the volume of distribution is 4L/kg and the person weighs 140.0lbs. Report in Î¼g/L with 2 significant figures.

9.Fentanyl is an opiate that is about 10x as potent as morphine for pain relief. A plasma concentration of 21.1Î¼g/L is usually fatal. One method of ingestion is to scrape the contents of the patch into a spoon, heat it, and inhale the vaporized drug. If a patch is labeled as delivering 75Î¼g/hr for 66 hours, how many patches would have to be used in this way to reach the fatal peak plasma concentration? Asume the volume of distribution is 4L/kg and the person weighs 140.0lbs. Report to one decimal.

10.A drug that is taken orally reaches peak plasma concentration in 3 minutes and has a half-life of 42 minutes. A person takes enough of the drug to reach a peak plasma concentration of 40.4 Î¼g/L. How long after ingestion of the drug will the plasma concentration reach 37 Î¼g/L? Report your results in minutes, rounded to the nearest minute.

11.Heroin has a plasma half-life of 17 minutes as it rapidly metabolizes 6-monoacetylmorphine and eventually to morphine. Assume some ingests heroin by injection leading to a peak plasma concentration of 124.6Î¼g/L. What will be the plasma concentration of heroin in the same units 44 minutes after injection? Report to the nearest whole number.

12.A drug is supplied in tablets that contain 5.0mg of the drug per tablet. The bioavailablity of this drug is 45%, the plasma half-life is 35 minutes, and the volume of distribution is 3L/kg. The drug is rapidly absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentration 25 minutes after ingestion. If a person weighing 190lbs takes two tablets, what will be the plasma concentration 3 hour(s) after he/she took the tablets? Report your result in ppb to one decimal.

13. A drug is supplied in tablets that contain 5.0mg of the drug per tablet. The bioavailablity of this drug is 64%, the plasma half-life is 41 minutes, and the volume of distribution is 4 L/kg. The drug is rapidly absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentration 39 minutes after ingestion. If a person weighing 207 lbs takes two tablets, what will be the plasma concentration 3 hour(s) after he/she took the tablets? Report your result in ppb to 2 decimals.
