A client with hypertension who weighs 72.4 kg is receiving an infusion of nitroprusside (Nipride) 50 mg in D5W 250 ml at 75 ml/h

our. How many mcg/kg/minute is the client receiving? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

To solve this problem it is necessary to simply apply the concepts related to cross-multiply and proportion between units.

Let's start first by relating the amount of dose needed to be supplied per hour, in other words,

The infusion of 250ml should be supplied at a rate of 75ml / hour, so what amount x of mg hour should be supplied with 50Mg.

\frac{x}{75ml/hour} \rightarrow \frac{50mg}{250ml}

x \rightarrow \frac{50mg*75ml/hour}{250ml}

x \rightarrow \frac{3750mg}{250hour}

x \rightarrow 15\frac{mg}{hour}

Converting to mcg units we know that 1mg is equal to 1000mcg and that 1 hour contains 60 min, therefore

x \rightarrow 15\frac{mg}{hour}

x \rightarrow 15\frac{mg}{hour}(\frac{1000mcg}{1mg})(\frac{1hour}{60min})

x \rightarrow 250mcg/min

The dose should be distributed per kilogram of the patient so if the patient weighs 72.4kg,

Dose = \frac{250mcg/min}{72.4kg}

Dose = 3.5 \frac{mcg/min}{kg}

Therefore the client will receive 3.5mcg/kg/min.

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at a rate of 151 rev/min is switched off. Assume constant angular decelerat
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial angular velocity ω₀ = 151 x 2π / 60

= 15.8  rad /s

final velocity = 0

Angular deceleration α = 2.23 rad / s

ω² = ω₀² -  2 α θ

0 = 15.8² - 2 x 2.23 θ

= 55.99  rad

one revolution = 2π radian

55.99 radian = 55.99  / 2 π no of terns

= 9 approx .

This is an example of which scientific practice?
pshichka [43]

The example of the scientific practice is missing here but it should always involve the application of the scientific method.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a series of steps by which researchers can collect empirical evidence that enables them to test hypotheses and generate scientific theories.

The scientific method starts with the observation of a given phenomenon from the real world, which then enables the raising of a question that in turn enables the formulation of a plausible explanation called hypothesis.

In conclusion, the example of the scientific practice is missing here but it should always involve the application of the scientific method.

Find the direction and magnitude of Ftot, the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F1 and F2 are
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

 θ = 36°

Explanation:

given,

F₁ = 22.8 N

F₂ = 16.6 N

magnitude of force = ?

direction of force = ?

F = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

F = \sqrt{22.8^2 + 16.6^2}

F = \sqrt{795.4}

      F = 28.20 N

direction

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{F_2}{F_1})

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{16.6}{22.8})

\theta = tan^{-1}(0.728)

       θ = 36°

The density of silver is 10.49 g/cm3. If a sample of pure silver has a volume of 12.993 cm3, what is the mass?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

Density=mass/volume

mass=x

10.49=X/12.99

X=10.49 X12.99

X=136.29657

mass=136.3g/cm^3

I hope it helped.
