A woman in hospital receives an injection of penicillin. Her body gradually breaks the penicillin down so that one hour after the injection only 60% of the penicillin will remain active. This pattern continues: at the end of each hour only 60% of the penicillin that was present at the end of the previous hour remains active. Suppose the woman is given a dose of 300 milligrams of penicillin at 8 o'clock in the morning. Non MCQ Question: Complete this table showing the amount of penicillin that will remain active in the woman's blood at intervals of one hour from 0800 until 1100 hours. Time: 0800 - 0900 - 1000 - 1100 Penicillin (mg): 300 Peter has to take 80 mg of a drug to control his blood pressure. The following graph shows the initial amount of the drug, and the amount that remains active in Peter's blood after one, two, three and four days.
