Answer

A dislocation is an injury to a joint, the point where two or more bones come together in which end of the bones are forced from their normal positions.

Treatment is by reduction by gently maneuvering to get the bone back to position, immobilization with a splint for weeks, surgery especially during recurring dislocations and rehabilitation

Explanation

Dislocation is a painful injury that causes deformation and immobilization of a joint temporary. It is common in shoulders and fingers though it also happens in knees and hips. Symptoms of a dislocated joint are swollen joint, intense pain and immovable joint. Risk factors include sport participation, motor vehicle accidents and susceptibility to falls.

Dosage ordered 40 mg of secobarbitol (elixir) The stock bottle contains 22 mg of secobarbitol in 5 ml solution. How many mL shou
rosijanka [135]
If the dose requires that a total of 40 mg be given, then you take the ratio of the stock bottle (mg/mL) and solve for the total amount of mL that are needed by multiplying the amount of mL required (x):

\frac{22}{5} *x=40

Multiply by 5 on both sides to give:

22x=200

Then solve for x:

\frac{200}{22}=9.091mL

Another, possibly quicker, way to solve would be to set up a proportion - one side the stock bottle ratio, and the other side the dosage requirements:

\frac{22}{5} = \frac{40}{x}

Cross multiply and you get:

22x=200

And you would solve this the same way as above.

So the patient should receive 9.091 mL of secobarbitol.
