3 0

The nurse's duty in avoiding polypharmacy is to keep a thorough record of all medications you take, including their brand and generic names, dosages, and intended uses.

<h3>What is polypharmacy?</h3><h3 />

Polypharmacy includes the usage of many drugs as well as possibly unsuitable pharmaceuticals.

Assist patients and families close to getting a complete list of drugs. Rearrange the patient's electronic health record prescription list.

Look out for unsuitable and inaccurate medications. When rescribing drugs, use caution.

Keeping a complete record of all drugs you take, including their brand and generic names, doses, and intended use is the nurse’s role in preventing polypharmacy.

Hence, nurses play an important role in preventing polypharmacy.

How far will the ball go before being caught one meter above the ground?

Reil [10]

Answer:

32 meters

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

y₀ = 1 m

y = 1 m

v₀ₓ = 18 cos 52° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 18 sin 52° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

Find: x

First, find the time it takes for the ball to be caught.

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧt²

1 = 1 + 18 sin 52° t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 14.2 t − 4.9 t²

0 = t (14.2 − 4.9 t)

t = 0 or 2.89

It takes 2.89 seconds to be caught. The horizontal distance traveled in that time is:

x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓt²

x = 0 + (18 cos 52°) (2.89) + ½ (0) (2.89)²

x = 32.1

Rounded to two significant figures, the ball travels 32 meters.

A solid cylinder of mass 12.0 kgkg and radius 0.250 mm is free to rotate without friction around its central axis. If you do 75.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The final angular velocity is 20rad/s

Explanation:

We are given;

mass, m = 12 kg

radius, r = 0.25 m

Work done;W = 75 J

Moment of inertia of cylinder, I = (1/2) mr²

Thus,

I = (1/2) x 12 x 0.25² = 0.375 kg.m²

Now, from work energy theorem,

Work done = Change in kinetic energy

So, W = KE_f - KE_i

Now, Initial Kinetic Energy (KE_i) = 0

Final Kinetic Energy; KE_f = (1/2)Iω²

So, KE_f = (1/2) x 0.375 x ω²

KE_f = 0.1875 ω²

Now, W = 75 J

Thus,

From, W = KE_f - KE_i, we have;

75 = 0.1875 ω² - 0

75 = 0.1875 ω²

ω² = 75/0.1875

ω² = 400

ω = √400

ω = 20 rad/s

What is the velocity of the buggy? <br><br> At 20 seconds the buggy will have a position of ____ ?

lbvjy [14]

At 20 seconds it will be 12.6 because at 10 seconds it was as at approximately 6.3 so we times it by 2 to get the 20s

A 100-turn, 2.0-cm-diameter coil is at rest in a horizontal plane. A uniform magnetic field 60∘ away from vertical increases fro

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The induced emf is $|\epsilon|=0.0261 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of turn is $N = 100$

The diameter of the coil is $d = 2.0 cm = 2.0 *10^{-2} m$

The uniform magnetic at initial is $B_i = 0.50 T$

The uniform magnetic at initial is $B_f = 1.50 T$

The time taken is $t = 0.60s$

The angle the magnetic field makes with vertical is $\theta = 60^o$

Generally induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = -N \frac{d \o}{dt}$

where $d \o$ is the change magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is mathematically represented as

$\O = \= B \cdot \= A$

$= BA cos \theta$

Substituting this above

$\epsilon = -N \frac{d (BA cos \theta)}{dt}$

$\epsilon = -N A \frac{d (B cos \theta)}{dt}$

Where B is the magnetic field and A is the area which is mathematically evaluated as

$A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Substituting values

$A = \frac{\pi (2.0 *10^{-2})^2}{4}$

$A= 3.142*10^{-4}m^2$

From the equation of emf

$\epsilon = -N A \frac{d (B cos \theta)}{dt}$

dB = $B_2 -B_1$

$|\epsilon| = N A \frac{ (B_2 -B_1 cos \theta)}{dt}$

substituting values

$|\epsilon| = 100(3.142*10^{-4}) \frac{ (1.50 -0.50 cos(60))}{0.60}$

$|\epsilon|=0.0261 V$

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?

Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
