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.

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.
