Electrical burns usually follow an internal path.

<h3>What are the damages caused by a lightning strike on humans?</h3>

While only 10% of those who are struck by lightning die, many of the 90% who do survive have long-term difficulties.

Depending on the sort of lightning hit and the amount of electricity passing through the body, several effects might result from a lightning strike.

Lightning can destroy tissue, leave deep wounds, and result in skin burns. Additionally, the electrical current may result in a sort of scaring called Lichtenberg figures (branching electric discharges). Unusual fractal patterns emerge as a result of blood vessel destruction that occurs when the lightning current passes through the body to describe this sort of scarring.

A lightning strike can halt the heart, leading to cardiac arrest. It may also result in pulmonary edema and arrhythmias.

Brain injury and a variety of neurological disorders may be brought on by lightning strikes. A person may suffer from spinal cord injuries, go into a coma, feel pain, numbness, or weakness in their limbs, or have sleep or memory issues.

A lightning strike could harm the ear and impair hearing. Additionally, it may result in blindness, corneal damage, and vertigo.

Compounding a sterile IV medication must be done in the pharmacy
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  The answer is C - clean room.  

Explanation:  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room.  A fume hood is used in a kitchen.  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room, ISO class 7 and inside that room is an ISO class 5 area - either an area that achieves this or inside a primary engineering control.  A PEC is a laminar air flow hood - either horizontal or vertical.  Or, if you do not have an ISO class 7 area, you can use a biological safety cabinet or Compounding Aseptic (CAI) and Containment Isolators (CACI) that can be certified to use a room that is less than ISO class 7.  The only reason you would ever prepare a sterile IV medication on a counter is in an emergency situation for "immediate use."  Immediate use is defined as the entire contents will be used within 60 minutes of the preparation.
