Answer:

0,250 mL of cefazolin (Ancef) are administered.

Explanation:

In order to administer 250mg of cefazolin (Ancef) from a vial which concentration is 1gm/mL the following conversion must be applied:

1gm = 1000 mg

Therefore, using the rule of three,  (250 mg x 1 mL) / 1000 mg = 0,250 mL.

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.

  • Levodopa can now be used at a lower dosage, which results in less nauseousness and vomiting.

Pamela watches her cat Mr. Big swat his paw at the wall and calls out, "Crazy Big, what are you swatting at; nothing is there."
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a. Cats see low-frequency, low contrast objects better than humans.

Explanation:

Mr. Big is able to see something that Pamela does not see because cats have a wider field view of about 200 degrees while that of humans is about 180 degrees.

Cats eyes have 6-8 times more rod cells, which are more sensitive to low light, than that of humans. Their elliptical eye shape, large tapetum and cornea help to gather light for better vision at night.
