Answer:

A RISK is the chance that someone or something could be harmed by a hazard.

Explanation:

Risk is the <u>probability of experiencing harm or an adverse side effect from exposure to a hazard</u>, may it be from the workplace, environment, or property.

Hazard is anything that may be a <u>source of possible harm or damage</u> to an individual or property.

Risks within the workplace are assessed to prevent workers from possible exposure or damage, this is called <u>Risk Assessment Control</u>. Here, the  <u>likelihood of a hazard occurring is determined</u>.

An example is medication errors when the nurse/s are overworked.

<em>"Overworked nurses are 15 times (for example) more likely to commit medication errors  than fully-rested nurses."</em>

The likelihood of developing such errors depends on multiple factors like:

<em>"Too much work load"</em>

<em>"Huge number of patients"</em>

<em>"Lack of manpower"</em>

arsen [322]

Answer:

osmolarity depends upon molarity.

glucose is a non-ionizing substance. it won't break down and will go as a whole.

osmolarity means the solute concentration of a solution.

here, the solvent is water.

therefore, 1 osmole = 1 mol

the ions of glucose after forming a solution (i) = 1

osmolarity = 1.5 M glucose × 1

                   = 1.5 osmoles of glucose.
