What is the total value of the Small Female block prescription 2/2/2/2/2?

• A. 10
• B. 8
• C. 12
• D. 14

Answer: (A)

Block prescriptions like 2/2/2/2/2 are additive. You add each segment’s value to get the total. Here there are five segments, each worth 2 units, so 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10. That’s why the total value is 10. If there were four numbers at 2, the total would be 8; more or higher values would change the total accordingly.
