<h3>What is drug dosage?</h3>

Drug dosage refers to the amount of drug that should be taken by a patient in order to produce effective pharmacodynamic results.

The dosage of the drug to be given is 45 mEq.

The dosage available is 30 mEq in 15 mL.

In order to give this required dosage the amount in mL required is calculated as follows:

30 mEq is in 15 mL

45 mEq will be in x mL

x = 45 * 15/30

x = 22.5 mL

In conclusion, drug dosage refers to the amount of drug required to produce good results in the patient.

scZoUnD [109]

Explanation:

Ffeosol sulfate is an iron supplement.. children are susceptible to an overdose..they will get hard stools, push excessively to remove stools,

this depends on the child's weight, and if they hav had lost or gained weight during prognosis. if under 20lbs, they should get 5mil(1tsp) ..

if over 20lbs. should get 2 tsp..

guessing that child ingested 2oz that would equal 4 tsp of iron..

3 tsp = 1 tablespoon, so child ingested 1 & a half tsps of iron...

QUESTION 2

Ierofanga [76]

<h3><u>Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus </u></h3>

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are both metabolic endocrine diseases caused due to hormonal imbalance.

<u>Etiology</u><u>: </u>

<u>Organ and hormone involved</u><u>: </u>

Diabetes mellitus occurs due to inefficiency of the pancreas to produce sufficient amount of the hormone insulin or lack of insulin action resulting in uncontrolled blood glucose levels.

Diabetes insipidus occurs due to inefficiency of the pituitary glands to produce sufficient amount of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin or lack of vasopressin action resulting in uncontrolled water metabolism.

<u>Signs and symptoms: </u>

Diabetes mellitus results in increasing blood glucose levels, polyuria and nocturia, polydipsia, polyphagia, fatigue and various other complications affecting eyes, kidneys, nervous system, and heart as the disease progresses.

Diabetes insipidus results in increasing water levels due kidneys excreting large amounts of diluted urine leading to polyuria, polydipsia, and excessive dehydration and fatigue.

<u>Diagnostic/lab tests and results: </u>

Diabetes mellitus is tested by testing blood glucose levels.

Diabetes insipidus is tested by testing water deprivation or vasopressin level test/the 24-hour urine for urine osmolality levels along with serum electrolyte level tests.

These tests are based on response to vasopressin, urine concentration abilities, urine osmolality, and electrolyte levels of the blood.
