Mr. Patrick Wallace was recently started on a blood pressure medication to treat his new diagnosis of hypertension (high blood p

ressure). He returns to see his doctor to make sure the new medication is working. The office has recently hired a new medical assistant named Meredith. Meredith is having a hard time with the procedure, and so she looks at Mr. Wallace’s past few blood pressure (BP) results and assumes that it is probably about the same (Meredith is unaware of the most recent medication that was prescribed for high blood pressure). The doctor comes into the exam room and reviews Mr. Wallace’s vital signs and medications. The doctor decides that, based on today’s results, the blood pressure medication dose is not effective, and increases the dose. About two days after starting the new dose of medication, Mr. Wallace gets out of bed in the morning and becomes very dizzy and passes out. His wife frantically calls 911 and Mr. Wallace is taken to the ER, and his blood pressure is dangerously low. His doctor sees him in the ER and determines that his medication strength is too high and lowers it to his previous dose. Now Mr. Wallace has an expensive ambulance bill, and an ER bill, and has pain in his hip from the fall.

My assumption is that Meredith did not document the blood pressure since she couldn't do the procedure and wrote down the same numbers as his last visit.

So Meredith has a problem with using instruments and the doctor doesn't know it. Mrs. Might file a complaint or get a lawyer for malpractice.

As the hospital does a risk management regarding this medication error, they may find out what happened. I don't think so, since Meredith did not document a true reading and the doctor didn't double check it.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

In this scenario, the green light is a(n) <u><em>signal</em></u>.

Explanation:

In the above scenario, with time, the pigeon has learnt that he will be rewarded only when the green light is on. Such a condition is known as learned behaviour. In the future, the pigeon will only peck the button when the green light is on because he will know that he will be rewarded for pecking the button only when the green light is on. Hence, the green light is the signal for the pigeon to start pecking the button.

What has more calories sugar or oil?
Anvisha [2.4K]

The question only makes sense if you specify that
you're talking about the same amount of each.

Olive oil . . . . . 120 calories / Tablespoon
Table sugar . . . 22.5 calories / Tablespoon

In equal volumes, olive oil has a little more than
5 times the calories of granulated sugar.

Sesame oil, soybean oil, almond oil, canola oil, corm oil,
cottonseed oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, palm oil,
macadamia nut oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, walnut oil,
wheatgerm oil, and sunflower oil are all virtually identical
to olive oil in calorie content, but their saturated fat content
is different.
