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.
Who in the situation has responsibility for what has happened? Does it fall solely on the Medical Assistant? What should Meredith have done when she was having a hard time obtaining the blood pressure? Do you think that the patient should have to pay the medical bills?

Hi,


Who in the situation has responsibility for what has happened? Does it fall solely on the Medical Assistant? What should Meredith have done when she was having a hard time obtaining the blood pressure? Do you think that the patient should have to pay the medical bills?


- In this case, the doctor has the responsibility for the patient medication.( to assess the patient blood pressure once again.)

- Meredith also doing a mistake. ( inform the healthcare team)

- No, the patient does not have to pay the medical bill (prosecution for error)

A light ray is incident or glass from air at 60 degree to normal. calculate the angle of refraction of the refractive index of w
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The angle of refraction θ₂ = 40.51 degree

Explanation:

given data

ray incident = 60 degree

refractive index of water = 4/3​  = 1.333

solution

we will use here Snell's law that states as

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂    .....................1

here we take refraction of air n₁  = 1

so put value in equation 1 we get

1 × sin60 = 1.333 × sinθ₂  

sinθ₂  = 0.6496

θ₂ = 40.51 degree

Which source should you NOT consult to validate an advertisement's claim?
Studentka2010 [4]
The product manufacturer will be biased. Of course they will support the claim, because they make money if you believe the claim and buy their product. 
It's better to consult the other sources, assuming of course that they are unbiased and do not have any conflicts of interest.
