A drug or other substance that is tightly controlled by the government may be abused or cause addiction.

When delivering medications, the nurse must know important information about the drug being administered.

A drug or other substance is tightly controlled by a government because of its potential for abuse or addiction. Control relates to the way substances are manufactured, used, handled, stored, and distributed. Controlled substances include opioids, stimulants, tranquilizers, hallucinogens, and anabolic steroids.

Some conventions, notably the Single Convention on Narcotics, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the United Nations Convention against Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances, contain internationally agreed "lists" of controlled substances, incorporated into national law. However, domestic laws usually extend these international agreements significantly.

Some precursor chemicals used in the manufacture of illicit drugs, which may also lack the pharmacological effects of the drugs themselves, are controlled substances in many countries. Substances are classified according to the scheme and consist mainly of potentially psychoactive substances and anabolic steroids. Controlled substances do not include many prescription items such as antibiotics.

Do you think that 3/5 Compromise is<br> right? Why or why not?
puteri [66]

Answer:

Absolutely NOT

Explanation:

The 3/5ths compromise was more dehumanizing than it was good, by counting every 3 slaves as ONE vote, which is very wrong. Each slave is their own person and counting them as three only pushed the fact that spaves were seen as property and not people.

taurus [48]

The correct answer is D) There would likely not be life on Earth because its surface would be much colder and Earth's water would be frozen.

Life on Earth could be affected if the atmosphere did NOT contain greenhouse gases in the following way: "There would likely not be life on Earth because its surface would be much colder and Earth's water would be frozen."

Scientists agree that this is basically the importance of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere of planet earth. Without these gases, the surface of the earth would have an average temperature of minus 18 centigrades. Many life forms as we know them could not survive under this hairs climate condition. Furthermore, most of the surface of the earth would be covered on ice.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:a.Naturalist

Explanation:

A naturalist believes that subjects or participants are able to show their original behavior if they are in their natural environment. A researcher would be more likely to get a true presentation of the participants behaviour if they observe them in their natural environment, if they are not aware that they are under observation. People act normal in normal situations but may alter their behaviour in situations when they know they are being watched.

A naturalist will carry those experiments or research that can't not be done in a lab such as this one of observing women in a shelter.

Step2247 [10]

BLM as a whole stands out to me because people shouldnt be judged on the color of their skin. The culture of African Americans is something so intresting and amazing. I belive that it should  be implimented in our learning. I think that we should have lessons based on African American heros aside from history. Those are my beliefs.
