For a family of four, a first aid kit would include scissors. A multi-purpose tool would come handy, but is not necessary. Rubbing alcohol is out of the ordinary, and barbiturates are a type of drug unneeded in a first aid kit.
Answer:
946.35mL (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
Use the formula
C1V1 = C2V2
where C1 is the concentration of the undiluted medication = 15mg/mL
V1 is the volume of the undiluted medication = 1 pint = 473.176mL (convert pint to mL)
C2 is the concentration that the diluted medication should have = 5mg/mL
V2 is the volume of the diluted medication with syrup = ??
C1V1 = C2V2
15mg/mL x 473.176mL = 5mg/mL x V2
<u>15mg/mL x 473.176mL = V2</u>
5mg/mL
1419.528mL = V2
V2 = 1419.528mL (expected volume of medication + syrup)
Therefore, amount of non-medicated flavored syrup base to be added = 1419.528mL - 473.176mL
= 946.352mL (2 pints)
Answer:
PICO is a mnemonic system that is much used in evidence-based practice both in Medicine and Nursing. This system allows a researcher in a medical field to evaluate all aspects of a situation, or health condition, being studied and respond to all the necessary questions in an organized and integral form. PICO, stands for the following: P: patient, problem or population, I: Intervention, C: Comparisson, control, and O: Outcomes.
In the case of this question, the nurse researcher wishes to ascertain the effectiveness of replacing intravenous catheters in patients with a frequency of 72 hour-intervals between changes in diminishing infection rates due to this nursing procedure. In order to fully research the validity of such a question, of the ensuing experimentation, observation and gathering of data, and the release of valid results, this researcher will use PICO as her guiding framework. As the question requests, then, the O in this system would apply to the expected result, or the outcome, expected from applying the thesis of the researcher. That would be: "the decrease infection rates."
