Answer:

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min rounded to 17 gtts/min</u>

Explanation:

In order to calculate the flow rate, the following formula will be used.

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

50 mL of fluid in which Ciprofloxacin is dissolved is taken as volume.

<u>KNOWN DATA:</u>

Volume = 50mL

Time = 45 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL

Flow rate = unknown

<u>CALCULATION:</u>

Plugging the known values in the formula,

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

Flow rate = \frac{50}{45} x 15

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min.</u>

What is the advantage of nitro patches?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Nitroglycerin transdermal patches (nitro patches) are used to prevent angina (chest pain) caused by narrowing of blood vessels in coronary artery disease (CAD). It does not work to relieve the pain of an angina attack that has already started. Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator; it works by relaxing the blood vessels (expanding the narrowed vessels) so that the heart does not need to work as hard.

___________ are large, multinucleated cells that function in osteolysis.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

b. osteoclasts

Explanation:

Osteoclasts are large multi nucleated cells. They are found in pits of the bone surface. They have many vesicles and vacuoles leading to a "foamy" cytoplasm. They also have lysosomes filled with acid phosphatase.

Osteoclasts' primary function is to breakdown bone tissue that is required for repair, maintenance and remodeling of bones. They digest the bone by secreting collagenase and acid in a process called as bone resorption. Bone resportion as a pathological response is called as osteolysis. It can be caused by inflammation, tumor and cyst.
