What is the total value of the Medium Male block prescription 5/5/1/5/1?

• A. 16
• B. 18
• C. 17
• D. 19

Answer: (C)

Block prescriptions are added together to get the total workload for that block. For this medium male block, the numbers are 5, 5, 1, 5, and 1. Add them: 5 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 1 = 17. So the total value is 17. This sum reflects the overall volume of the block as written; there’s no multiplication or weighting involved.
