A physician orders meperidine 1.1 mg/kg diluted in 120 mL of water po every four hours as needed for pain for a 66-lb child. In stock: meperidine oral solution 50 mg/5 mL. What volume of medication should be added to 120 mL of water per dose?
Answer:
The volume of the drug meperidine to be diluted in 120 ml of water per dose is 3,3 ml.
Explanation:
Meperidine is a narcotic analgesic, with effect on the nervous system. It is used for moderate to severe pain control.
First, have to make the conversion of the child's weight, from lb to kg, knowing that the equivalence is 1 lb = 0.454 kg
1 lb ----------------- 0.454 Kg 66 lb ------------- X X = 66 x 0.454 X = 29.964 ≈ 30 KgChild's weight is 30 Kg.
The exact dose that the child should receive should be determined, according to his weight:
Dose = 1.1 mg x Kg Dose = 1.1 mg x 30 Kg Dose = 33 mgTaking into account that there is 50 mg of meperidine in 5 ml of oral solution:
50 mg --------------- 5 cc 33 mg --------------- X X = (33 x 5) / 50 X = 3.3 ccThe volume of meperidine to be diluted in 120 cc of water per dose is 3.3 ml.

Critical practices to control the amount of solid waste include __________.
A.
reduce, reuse, recycle, compost
B.
reduce, remove, recycle, compact
C.
reduce, sort, recycle, compact
D.
none of the above
Answer:
A. Reduce, reuse, recycle, compost
Explanation:
As we are dealing with huge amounts of solid waste, which negatively affects our environment, we've begun talking about methods that could help us control these amounts. These methods include the so-called 3RC (reduce, reuse, recycle, compost).
We should reduce the amounts of waste. For example, we could use reusable water bottles instead of constantly buying disposable ones.
Upcycling and freecycling are ways to reuse waste instead of throwing it away. Upcycling is the reuse of objects to create a product of higher quality or something different, and freecycling refers to giving away something we no longer need instead of throwing it away.
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects.
Composting is a process in which macro- and micro-organisms break down organic materials to form a rich, soil-like substance.

A meter is the basic unit for measuring what?
A. Volume
B. Weight and mass
C. Length and distance
D. Time
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A meter measures distance. We don't say the cube is x meters long, just as we don't say we weigh x amount. Instead we use units like centimeters for volume while we use pounds or kilograms for weight. In terms of time, I have no idea how the unit meters would be useful for that. Example for time units include: seconds, minutes, hours, and days. However, we do say this ruler is x amount of meters. As such, length and distance is the only logical answer.

your gender height weight and age are the different attributes that make up your _______ identity
Your gender height weight and age are the different attributes that make up your Physical identity.
What is Physical identity?
Stamina, flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination are all examples of physical identity. The capacity to learn or retain knowledge, the capacity to comprehend the facts and significance of one's behavior, and the possession of the qualities (capacity, ability, power) necessary to complete a task are all examples of mental abilities.A physical disability, on the other hand, is a condition that limits a person's stamina, dexterity, mobility, and/or physical capacity. These conditions include cerebral palsy and hearing impairments. When a person does not progress cognitively at the same rate as the majority of other people, they have a mental disability. A mental disorder is distinct from a mental disability.The set of cognitive faculties is thought to be made up of an immaterial substance that is separate from and distinct from the body in another conception of the mind. Physical identity may be based on the persistence of this non-physical substance over time, despite the continuous change in the substance of the body it is associated with, if a person is considered to be their mind rather than their body—if a person is then identified with their mind—and if their mind is such a non-physical substance.The explanation of the relationship, if any, that exists between minds or mental processes and bodily states or processes is the subject of the mind-body problem. Philosophers in this field try to figure out how a non-material mind can affect a material body and vice versa.

1List three central limitations to aerobic capacity (VO2max) 3 points
2List two peripheral limitations to aerobic capacity (VO2max) 2 points
3Do Kravitz and Dalleck believe that central or peripheral limitations limit VO2max? 1 point
4What is the lactate threshold? 1 point
5Define exercise economy
Answer:
1. pulmonary diffusion, cardiac output, and blood volume and flow
2. muscle diffusion capacity, and capillary density
3. Kravitz and Dalleck believe that both the central and peripheral limitations limit VO2max, although the relative importance of each component is being discussed, researched and debated.
4. The lactate threshold refers to the intensity of exercise at which point there is an abrupt increase in blood lactate levels resulting in the exercising muscles to become fatigued.
5. Exercise economy can be defined as the oxygen consumption that is required by the body to perform a given exercise.
Explanation:
1. The central limitation of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) refers to the limitations of the cardiovascular system to transport oxygen to the exercising muscles.
The three central limitations to aerobic capacity are:
pulmonary diffusion,cardiac output, andblood volume and flow2. Peripheral limitations refers to those factors which limit the ability of exercising muscles to extract and utilize oxygen, which has been transported by the cardiovascular system.
Two of these limitations include:
muscle diffusion capacity, and capillary density3. Kravitz and Dalleck believe that both the central and peripheral limitations limit VO2max, although the relative importance of each component is being discussed, researched and debated.
4. The lactate threshold refers to the intensity of exercise at which point there is an abrupt increase in blood lactate levels resulting in the exercising muscles to become fatigued.
In untrained endurance athletes, the lactate threshold occurs at between 50 - 60 % VO2max, whereas it increases to between 70 - 90 % in well-trained endurance athletes.
5. Exercise economy can be defined as the oxygen consumption that is required by the body to perform a given exercise.

During a routine physical exam for a client diagnosed with hypertension, the nurse practitioner will be most concerned if which assessment is found?
Answer:
Explanation:
One of the main findings that should bring concern would be noted hemorrhages and microaneurysms during the evaluation of the internal eye. This is because these are symptoms that are caused by hypertension and usually lead to hypertensive retinopathy which can ultimately cause the individual to lose their sight if not treated in time. In the worst of cases, this can also be a sign of a blockage in the arteries which can ultimately lead to a stroke and even death.
Physical fitness has many benefits, which we learned about in the unit. Can you think of any disadvantages or negative consequences to working on your physical fitness? List and briefly explain two possible negative side effects that could happen when you're being physically active.
Answer:
Possible negative side effects: muscle cramps/twitching, allergies, upset stomach, itchy skin, runny nose, etc
Explanation:
Physical exercise enhances the resistance, the functioning of the brain, enhances the heart function, regulates sleep and slows down aging. However, there are situations where an increase in physical activity has been associated with different symptoms/side effects such as, for example, muscle twitching and nasal stuffiness. Muscle twitching is caused by muscle exhaustion and an imbalance of electrolytes. Muscle twitching is a problem that can be solved by drinking cool water during training sessions in order to replenish electrolytes. Moreover, nasal stuffiness may be caused by the inflammation of the blood vessels in the sinuses, and this problem often is solved by training in air-conditioned gyms. These negative side effects and those cited above should take into consideration at the moment of making physical activities and consequently they should be consulted with the doctor at the right time.
Answer:
adverse health effects of too much exercise

Explanation:
You are a transplant surgeon who is preparing to do a heart transplant on a young mother. The donor has been identified and the organ is being harvested right now. It should be to you within 12 hours. The timing was good. You do not believe that the mother would have lived much longer without the transplant. You know that there are a number of people on the transplant list that will not be so lucky. When you are discussing the procedure with her husband, you realize that she has recently been exposed to her young daughter who has just come down with chickenpox. She has never had chickenpox before and you are concerned. If you convey this information to the transplant team, she will not receive the transplant. The heart will go to the next match on the transplant list. There is no real reason to expect that she will become ill. However, if she does, it is not likely that she will be able to overcome the virus with the anti-rejection drugs she will be given. She could become very sick and even die. If she does, then the transplant will not go to another.
