steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi

tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

The nurse is preparing to administer 80 mg of methylprednisolone intravenously (IV) to a client with pneumonia. The vial states

schepotkina [342]

The nurse would correctly draw up 1.3 mL.

<h3>What is methylprednisolone?</h3>

Methylprednisolone is used to treat illnesses of the skin, kidneys, lungs, eyes, blood, renal and intestinal abnormalities, severe allergic responses, arthritis, blood disorders, immune system issues, some malignancies, and eye ailments. It lessens the immune system's reactivity to certain illnesses in order to lessen symptoms including pain, swelling, and allergic-like responses. A corticosteroid hormone is included in this drug. In cases of hormone abnormalities, methylprednisolone may potentially be used with other drugs.

<h3>How is methylprednisolone administered?</h3>

Similar to prednisone, methylprednisolone can also be administered intravenously (IV) at greater dosages to treat severe inflammation. The use of IV methylprednisolone in illnesses like lupus that affects the kidneys or brain as well as some forms of vasculitis is an example.

<h3>Given: </h3>

Desired dose : 80 mg

Quantity on hand : 2 mL

Dose on hand : 120 g

Desired quantity = ?

<h3>Formula used : </h3>

$\frac{Dose on hand }{Quantity on hand } = \frac{Dose desired}{Quantity desired}$

<h3>Solution : </h3>

120 g / 2 mL = 80 g / Quantity desired

= > Quantity desired = 2 x 80 / 120 mL

= > Quantity desired = 1.33 mL ≈ 1.3mL

Therefore, quantity of methylprednisolone intravenously (IV) drawn by the nurse is 1.3 mL .
