Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

Growth delays

When giving methylphenidate to nursing patients, monitoring appetite suppression or growth delays is important. Methylphenidate is a member of the stimulant class of medications. They function by raising brain activity, particularly in regions that aid with attention and behavior regulation.

In order to treat children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, methylphenidate is employed (ADHD). They can focus better and it aids with hyperactivity and impulsive conduct. Additionally, people with ADHD or narcolepsy are treated with it (a sleep disorder).

Only prescriptions are accepted for methylphenidate. It is available as early release or prolonged release pills and capsules. To assist their ADHD, some kids might require both prolonged and rapid release methylphenidate.

a nurse is caring for an infant who has been prescribed a one-time dose of ceftriaxone (rocephin) 50 mg/kg im. the infant weighs
RideAnS [48]

The nurse should administer 0.8 mL ceftriaxone IM.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Determine the infant's weight in kg: 2.2 lb / x kg

= weight in lb / 1 kg; 2.2 lb / x kg = 17.6 lb / 1 kg.

Cross multiply and x = 8 kg

Find total of one-time dose:

Amount prescribed x kg weight (mg x kg)

= total daily dose; 50 mg x 8 kg = 400 mg

What is the dose needed?

Dose needed = Desired; Desired = 400 mg

What is the dose available?

Dose available = Have; Have = 500 mg

Set up an equation using knowledge about basic equivalents.

Desired x Quantity / Have

= Amount to be given; 400 mg x 1 mL / 500 mg = x mL; 400 x 1

= 400 ÷ 500 = 0.8 mL
