Which consideration is a priority when caring for a mother with strong contractions 1 minute apart?
geniusboy [140]

The heart rate of the fetus in relation to the contractions is the priority consideration while caring for a mother who is having strong contractions one minute apart.

There are a number of point which have to be taken care of when a mother is having strong contractions which are 1 minute apart but the priority is always to check the status of the fetus. This is important because the blood flow of the placenta gets interrupted temporarily with every contraction and therefore if the contractions are too strong and too long lasting, the fetus might not able to tolerate them.

Morphine sulfate grain 1/4 po is ordered. On hand is Morphine sultate 10 mg tablets. How many tablets will you give?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

1 tablet and a half.

Explanation:

1 mg is equivalent to 1/60gr

              or

1 gr is equivalent to 60 mg.

Since you need to give 1/4 gr of morphine sulfate, you need to give 1/4 of 60mg. If you will calculate that, you will need to give 15 mg of morphine sulfate. Since the tablets come in 10 mg, you will need to give 1 tablet and a half.

You can also compute it this way:

\dfrac{1}{4}gr\times \dfrac{60mg}{1gr} = \dfrac{60mg}{4}=15mg

15mg\times \dfrac{1 tablet}{10mg} = 1.5 tablets

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The answer is C. LOBES

Explanation:

Fissures divide the lungs into LOBES. The right lung consists of 2 fissures: Horizontal and oblique. The left lung has only one fissure: The Oblique. The projection of the oblique fissure is the same in both lungs and is aligned with a line that goes from the spinous apophysis of the T3 vertebra to the 6th costrocostal junction.

The horizontal fissure is previously projected at the height of the 4th rib and more laterally reaches the oblique fissure in the 5th rib at the level of the axillary midline.
