lianna [129]

The nurse is to administer a potassium supplement to the client and does not check the potassium level prior to administering the medication and later finds that the potassium level was at a critical high which means that the nonmaleficence principle was violated which is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Nonmaleficence? </h3>

This refers to the duty of a professional such as healthcare workers in ensuring that there is no harm done to the client or patient.

In this scenario, negligence caused the nurse to administer a medication which had a critically high amount of potassium which is harmful to the body.

This is therefore the reason why nonmaleficence was chosen as the correct choice.

If a pharmacist added each of the following to 22-g packages of 2% mupirocin ointment, what would be the percentage strengths of
REY [17]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

Given that,

Package of Pharmacist weight = 22 g

mupirocin = 2% , Weight of the mupirocin = (2/100)*22 = 0.44 g

Hence , Amount of mupirocin to be added to 3% w/w mupurocin

Element = X

Then , Total weight of amount = (22+X)g

Total amount of mupurocin = (0.44+ X) g

Now, % of mupurocin in element = 3.10 %

3.10 = ((0.44+X)/(22+X))*100

68.2 + 3.10 X = 44 + 100X

24.2 = 96.9 X , X = (24.2 /96.9) = 0.2497 g

Amount of mupirocin to be added =0.2497 g

You witness someone suddenly collapse the person is unresponsive
mezya [45]

Answer: Not totally certain if you have any multiple choice answers or anything but here's a general idea of what I would write in response.

Explanation: First step is always going to be asking them if they're okay, the question says they're unresponsive so you want to access the situation. If they are spasming and signs lead to them having a seizure your going to immediately call for an ambulance, don't try to restrain them unless they are potentially going to hurt themselves ie. falling off of something or hitting something dangerous nearby. Restraining them can potentially damage their nerves and muscles more than just letting them flail.

If they don't seem to be having any signs of a seizure then you want to check if they're breathing. If they aren't you need to start performing cpr. Have someone nearby call an ambulance or call 911 and ask for walk-through steps if you aren't certified, that way you know what your doing and you can have that support you if they try to sue you (which won't be a problem because of the good samaritan law anyways) You want to get them laying on their back, tilt their head and make sure nothings restricting their air flow. Then your going to do a couple breaths, if they don't start breathing you'll begin compressions. Compressions, breath, compressions breath. I reccommend looking up appropriate compression techniques for different age people and how to correctly administer if you aren't already aware since I don't want to write a whole article here- I hope this helped!
