Pellagra is a disease that is brought on by insufficient amounts of niacin, which is sometimes referred to as vitamin B-3.
<h3>What is pellagra?</h3>
Systemic illness called pellagra is brought on by a severe niacin deficit (vitamin B3). It has an impact on the entire body and can ultimately result in death. Niacin deficiency in your diet is the primary cause of primary pellagra. It typically affects people who are undernourished and in poverty.
Dermatitis, dementia, and diarrhea are the major signs of pellagra. This is due to the fact that niacin deficit is more apparent in bodily systems with rapid cell turnover, like your skin or gastrointestinal tract. Pellagra-related dermatitis frequently results in a rash on the hands, feet, or lips.

As a nurse working in a hospital and administering IV to a patient, the way to manually check to see if the patient is getting the right amount of medicine is simply by double-checking the label to determine the appropriate dose and to check the drip chamber.
A liquid drug, on the other hand, might be more difficult to administer since the dose must be measured by the person administering it. We recommend using an oral syringe rather than a household teaspoon to measure the amount.
<h3>How to resolve medical calculation involving proportion of </h3>
- First Set up a known ratio
- Set up a proportion with known and desired units. Use x for the quantity that is desired or unknown
- Cross multiply
- Solve for x
Solution:
= (120ml x 10gtt)/60min/hr
= 1200/60
= 20gtts/mins
So all that needs to be done is to ensure that the patient is getting 20 guttae (drops) per minute.
