which type of health care worker would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories impr
Rama09 [41]

The Director of nursing would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories’ improvement amendments or CLIA.

<h3>What is CLIA?</h3>

The Public Health Services Act was amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 law, in which Congress altered the federal scheme for accreditation and oversight of clinical laboratory testing.

Federal standards that apply to all U.S. facilities or locations that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease are included in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) rules.

Testing performed for forensic reasons (criminal investigations), testing carried out on human specimens for research or surveillance, and testing carried out on human specimens when patient-specific results are not reported are all exempt from the CLIA regulations.

These tests include employment-related drug testing by SAMSHA-certified laboratories.

An IV bag of 500 mL solution is started at 1900. The flow rate is 38 gtts per minute, and the drop factor is 10 gtts per mL. At
Ronch [10]

Answer: your bag will finish at 2112.

Explanation: (38gtt/min) × (10gtt/ml).

Cross multiply. (38gtt×1ml) × (1min×10gtt)

This gives you 38/10...and the gtts cancel out so, it's 38ml/10min.

Simplify this to 3.8 ml/min.

Now, 3.8ml/x min = 500 ml.

Take 500/3.8. This gives you about 132 minutes if you round to the nearest minute. 60 min/he means 132 min = 2h12m. 2h12m from 1900 is 2112.
