The healthcare provider orders potassium chloride 30 mEq per orem (meaning orally) every 8 hours (q means every, 8h means 8 hours). The prescribed dose is 10 to 100 mEq per day per orem. Since the patient will take 30 mEq of potassium chloride every 6 hours; then in 24 hours, the patient will receive a total of 120 mEq of potassium chloride which exceeds the recommended dose of 10 to 100 mEq per day. In conclusion, 30 mEq every 8 hours is not within the safe range.

rare due to how expensive it have become.  The average person in U.A.E make around 50x the average person in Burundi so they do consume more. So in the end the ecological footprint is much smaller in Burundi than in U.A.E.

g Choose the correct answer from the list. Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA sequences are called CONSENSUS. Unlike DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis requires TRANSCRIPTION. PROMOTERS direct RNA polymerase to the initiation site. RNA synthesis complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase perform TRANSLATION. RNA synthesis (tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA) takes place in complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase are called TRANSCRIPTION BUBBLES. The expression of beta-galactosidase requires the induction of operons by addition of REPRESSORS.
