Answer:

The best answer choice for the question: The number of milligrams of aspirin that should be administered is:___, would be, A: 19 mg.

Explanation:

First, it must always be remembered that dosages of any type of medication will be vastly different when administered to children, than when administered in adults. In children, the body mass of the child, as well as the miligrams of a medication, and the number of times it must be given, have to be computed so that the exact mgs are administered. If too few is given, then in this case the baby´s fever will not break. If too much, severe repercussions can follow, due to overdose. In essence, the first step here is that the body of the child in pounds must be transfomed to its equivalent in kgms. Second, the body weight of the child will be multiplied by the total dose ordered. Since the kilograms of this child are 3.86, this multiplied by 5.0 will give us a total of 19 mgs. So, the infant must receive 19 mg of aspirin a day to break the fever.

Elina [12.6K]
My successes were swimming 20 laps, getting B’s in Music/Art, dancing for 33 minutes, not getting the virus, staying at home, getting a B for my speech and completing homework at home. My challenges we’re swimming regularly, not understanding what the hard questions were, D’s for Geography/Science, exams with low grades, getting in shape and at school I get bullied.

My scheduling changes are going to overcome my challenges because when I swim/dance/exercise a lot I get fitter/stronger, reading the question properly/getting help will help me understand the question better, asking my teachers on what to do so I can do better for Geography/Science, study more on my exams, overcome getting bullied by telling the teacher/thinking a way to fix the problem: find friends to defeat your enemies/ tell your bullies to stop.

Which of the following is true concerning labeling?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

D) All of the answers are correct

Explanation:

Two people can label the same situation differently which leads to different perceptions. A bad experience could be labelled as a trauma and can lead to several psychiatric disorders like PTSD or depression. Often when we label something we also generalize a situation or a person. Labeling someone in this way can lead other people to oppress that person or take their advantage. For example a label like HIV positive is generally taken in  a negative sense by people and it overshadows all other aspects of a person's life.
