Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day

<h3>Dosage</h3>

A dosage is the amount of a medicine or drug that someone takes or should take, and how ` they should take it.

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg; also 1 lb = 0.453592 kg.

Hence 15 lb 6 oz = (15 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb) + (6 oz * 0.0283495 kg/oz) = 6.97 kg

Since the dosage is 50 mg/kg/day. Hence amount of mg given is:

Amount of mg = 50 mg/kg/day * 6.97 kg = 348.5 mg per day

Each 10 ml contains 400 mg; hence:

ml = 348.5 mg * 10 ml per 400 mg = 8.71 ml per day

Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day

sergij07 [2.7K]

3 cups of milk, or the equivalent, per day are advised for only a 2,000 caloric diet, according to My-Plate.

My-Plate recommendation:

  • According to My-Plate recommendation, the dairy category covers dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese, lactose-free milk, fortified soy milk, and yogurt. It excludes dairy products with high fat and low calcium content including cream cheese, sour cream, cream, and butter.
  • Human age, height, weight, degree of physical activity, and the quantity of dairy required will all affect how much you need. The quantity for women may also change depending on whether they are nursing or pregnant. My-Plate study shows that about 90% of Americans do not consume enough dairy, thus most people would benefit from increasing their diet of fat-free or low-fat dairy products, whether they come from milk (including lactose-free milk), yogurt, or cheese.

Which employer’s health plan is required to include parity provisions related to mental illnesses?
Archy [21]

The correct answer is; Insurance plans that are sold on the Marketplace, "most" small group and individual plans, and all state Medicare plans must provide some mental health services. The act states that there must be more than 50 workers.

Further Explanation:

The Mental Health Parity Act began in 1996 and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act began in 2008. The MHPA of 1996 was started to help people with mental health issues get the needed help. This prevents insurance companies and any HMOs to place place limits, either annually or lifetime, that are on a plan with surgical and medical benefits on the plan.

Under this law, there is a a limit on how many days a patient can stay in an inpatient setting, outpatient appointments, raising the deductible on the insurance, and also the prescription psych medications.

Which of the following heart chambers is correctly associated with the blood vessel that enters or leaves it?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Blood enters the heart through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava into the right atrium. When the right atrium contracts, this poor oxygen blood flows to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The valve then closes and the right ventricle contracts ejecting blood through the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries to the lungs to be oxygenated.

Pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. Then the atrium contracts and blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the mitral valve. The valve then closes, the left ventricle contracts and blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.
