RESUMO
The objectives of this survey were to determine which texts were used to teach financial management to pharmacy students, to gather instructors' evaluations of the texts, and to determine which financial management topics were most often covered in pharmacy courses. Data for the study were collected via a mail questionnaire survey sent to a selected pharmacy administration faculty member at each school of pharmacy in the United States and Puerto Rico. A 90 percent response rate was achieved. The results indicated that the most frequently used texts were Effective Pharmacy Management and Principles and Methods of Pharmacy Management. Evaluations of these texts indicated that instructors who used them were, for the most part, satisfied with them. Major points of dissatisfaction were the number and types of problems included. Pharmacy courses covered a wide range of financial management and managerial accounting topics. Bookkeeping topics were much less likely to be covered. None of the available pharmacy texts covered all topics which are usually taught in courses of pharmacy financial management.

Thirteen infants, 2 to 10 months of age, developed hypochloremic alkalosis (serum chloride 59 to 92 mEq/l) while taking Neo-Mull-Soy (Syntex), a soy-based formula low in chloride (measured to be 0 to 2 mEq/l) but with considerable potassium citrate. Range of symptoms included lethargy, anorexia, mild spitting up, diarrhea, hematuria, and growth failure. Urine chloride excretion was less than 3 mEq/l. Plasma renin activity or aldosterone, measured in six infants, was elevated. All responded promptly to supplemental salt. One infant receiving Neo-Mull-Soy redeveloped alkalosis when supplemental salt was discontinued. Two of nine apparently normal infants receiving Neo-Mull-Soy also had hypochloremia (85, 86 mEq/l). Three of four receiving Prosobee (Mead Johnson; Cl content 7 mEq/l) had urine chloride concentration less than 20 mEq/l. The chloride content of some infant formulas is insufficient to offset salt losses following mild stress.
