      How to Answer

      There is a slight difference in syrup and suspension products that can cause ineffective use in clinical effects. Understanding the difference between the two is especially important when educating patients on proper use. Show your understanding of the differences.

      1st Answer Example

      "In syrups, drug particles are distributed evenly throughout the solution. In suspensions, the drug particles do not completely dissolve in the solution which means they are not evenly distributed. It is important to educate patients who are using a suspension to shake the bottle well before dispensing the prescribed amount."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Syrups are often viscous due to a high concentration of sugar which makes them more palatable, especially for younger children. Because drug particles in a suspension do not completely dissolve in the solution, they often settle at the bottom of the bottle making the suspension have two layers. Properly shaking a suspension before administration is helpful in combining the particles in the poured solution."
