The nuclear disintegration series of 238-U is the source of radon-222 in soil.

<h3>What is nuclear disintegration ?</h3>
  • The process of nuclear disintegration is how an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation.
  • A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive.
  • Alpha, beta, and gamma decay are three of the most prevalent types of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.
  • Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things.
  • Alpha particles may be present in the ionising radiation that is released.
  • As one atom transforms into another, radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy.
  • Helium ions are released from an atom's nucleus during alpha decay. A neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton and electron during beta decay.

A patient gets 2.1 L of fluid over 19 hours through an IV. The drop factor is 20 gtt/mL.Calculate the drip rate in drops per min
Aleks [24]
<span>The rate of infusion is 2.1L/19h or 2100mL/19h (as 1L = 100 mL).
       
To convert 19 hours to minutes we multiply as follows:
   
19 hours = (19 hours) x (60 minutes/1 hour) = 1140 minutes
       
So the rate of infusion becomes:
   
2100mL /1140 min
       
In order to converted mL to drops (gtt) we multiply the rate of infusion with the drop factor to get the drip rate:
       
(2100mL/1140min) x (20 gtt/mL) = 36.8 gtt/min</span>
