Sample Cambodia Pharmacy Exit Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Cambodia Pharmacy Exit Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A pharmacist must prepare 250 mL of a 2% w/v chlorhexidine solution from a 20% w/v stock concentrate. How many millilitres of the 20% w/v stock are required?
A.12.5 mL
B.25 mL
C.50 mL
D.100 mL
Explanation: Use C1V1 = C2V2. Substituting 20% times V1 equals 2% times 250 mL gives V1 = 25 mL of stock. The remaining 225 mL is diluent. Percent w/v values may be used directly in this proportion when both concentrations are expressed the same way.
2A child weighing 16 kg is prescribed paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose. What single dose, in milligrams, should be prepared?
A.160 mg
B.200 mg
C.240 mg
D.320 mg
Explanation: Multiply weight by the ordered milligram-per-kilogram dose: 16 kg times 15 mg/kg equals 240 mg per dose. Confirm the total daily amount against the prescribed interval so the child does not exceed a safe daily ceiling. Weigh the child rather than guessing an adult tablet fraction.
3Four grams of drug are dissolved and made up to 200 mL with water. What is the percentage strength w/v?
A.0.2% w/v
B.1% w/v
C.2% w/v
D.4% w/v
Explanation: Percentage w/v is grams of solute in 100 mL of solution. Four grams in 200 mL is 2 g per 100 mL, which is 2% w/v. Do not confuse this with w/w, which uses grams of preparation as the denominator.
4Using alligation, how many grams of 10% w/w sulphur ointment must be mixed with 2% w/w sulphur ointment to obtain 400 g of 5% w/w sulphur ointment?
A.100 g of the 10% ointment
B.120 g of the 10% ointment
C.150 g of the 10% ointment
D.250 g of the 10% ointment
Explanation: Alligation medial places 5% between 10% and 2%. The 10% ointment contributes (5 minus 2) = 3 parts and the 2% ointment contributes (10 minus 5) = 5 parts, totalling 8 parts. Three-eighths of 400 g is 150 g of 10% ointment; five-eighths is 250 g of 2% ointment.
5Vancomycin 1 g is diluted to 250 mL and must be infused over 2 hours. What is the infusion rate in millilitres per hour?
A.62.5 mL/h
B.100 mL/h
C.125 mL/h
D.250 mL/h
Explanation: Divide the total volume by the infusion time: 250 mL divided by 2 hours equals 125 mL/h. This rate also keeps the vancomycin infusion slower than the usual 10 mg/min ceiling associated with red-man histamine release. Do not hang the entire 250 mL as a 1-hour bolus unless a prescriber has specified a different, still-safe duration.
6Fifty millilitres of a 1:1000 w/v solution are diluted to a final volume of 500 mL. What is the ratio strength of the diluted solution?
A.1:100 w/v
B.1:2000 w/v
C.1:5000 w/v
D.1:10,000 w/v
Explanation: A 1:1000 solution contains 1 g in 1000 mL, so 50 mL contains 0.05 g. After dilution to 500 mL the concentration is 0.05 g in 500 mL, or 1 g in 10,000 mL, written 1:10,000 w/v. Equivalently, multiplying the original ratio by the 10-fold volume increase (50 mL to 500 mL) yields the same result.
7An infusion of 1000 mL is to run over 8 hours using a giving set with a drop factor of 20 drops/mL. What is the drop rate in drops per minute, rounded to the nearest whole number?
A.21 drops/min
B.31 drops/min
C.42 drops/min
D.63 drops/min
Explanation: Drop rate equals (volume in mL times drop factor) divided by time in minutes. That is (1000 times 20) divided by (8 times 60) = 20,000/480 = 41.67, which rounds to 42 drops/min. Recheck the set's printed drop factor before programming a pump-free infusion.
8Amoxicillin is ordered at 40 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses for a 20 kg child. The suspension is 250 mg/5 mL. How many millilitres should be given at each dose?
A.4 mL
B.5 mL
C.8 mL
D.16 mL
Explanation: Daily dose is 40 mg/kg times 20 kg = 800 mg/day. Each of two doses is 400 mg. The suspension provides 250 mg in 5 mL, so 400 mg requires (400/250) times 5 mL = 8 mL per dose. Label the measuring syringe in millilitres, not teaspoonfuls.
9How many grams of 20% w/w coal-tar ointment should be mixed with 5% w/w coal-tar ointment to prepare 300 g of 8% w/w ointment?
A.45 g of the 20% ointment
B.60 g of the 20% ointment
C.90 g of the 20% ointment
D.240 g of the 20% ointment
Explanation: Alligation: 20% contributes (8 minus 5) = 3 parts and 5% contributes (20 minus 8) = 12 parts, totalling 15 parts. Three-fifteenths of 300 g is 60 g of 20% ointment; twelve-fifteenths is 240 g of 5% ointment. Mix until uniform before dispensing.
10Dopamine 400 mg is added to 250 mL of diluent. A 70 kg adult is to receive 5 mcg/kg/min. What infusion rate in millilitres per hour is required (nearest whole millilitre)?
A.8 mL/h
B.13 mL/h
C.21 mL/h
D.35 mL/h
Explanation: Dose rate is 5 mcg/kg/min times 70 kg = 350 mcg/min, or 21,000 mcg/h (21 mg/h). The bag contains 400 mg in 250 mL, so 1.6 mg/mL. Volume per hour is 21 mg/h divided by 1.6 mg/mL = 13.125 mL/h, which rounds to 13 mL/h. Recheck the bag concentration if a premix of a different strength is substituted.
