Answer:

The correct answer is -  keeping foreign particles out of the brain

A multinational pharmaceutical company is faced with the ethical dilemma of telling the general public the truth about a mishap
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Drugs are labeled to unequivocally determinate their drug/pharmaceutical compounds, doses, declared strength and prospects, thereby giving to the patient concise data that ensure a correct medication.

The errors occurred during drug labeling may be due to professional negligence or errors in the print process. Regardless the cause, these errors must be immediately communicated to the competent government organisms (such as for instance, the Food and Drug Administration in the US), and the public in general, it in order to avoid damages to the patients that could be occasioned by its use. Error reporting should be considered to be independent of economical issues and pharmaceutical commercial interests because it can save lives and improve patient safety, which are the first objectives to be pursued by drug manufacturers.  

Moreover, it is important to note that the ISMP National Medication Errors Reporting Program (ISMP MERP) is an organization program that enables professionals working in health care institutions to report any labeling error.

mariarad [96]

Answer: No. He is not ambidextrous.

Explanation:

Being ambidextrous means that the kid should be able to use both of his hands and that there should not be a preference for one at the expense of the other one. In this case, the kid should not view a particular hand as the stronger hand.

With regards to the question, we are informed that the kid has the ability to write with his left hand but not his right but that he's able to use his right for other tasks because that's his strong hand. This shows that he is not ambidextrous as he can not write with his right hand. It shows the hands aren't being used equally.
