Sound is more effectively transmitted into a stethoscope by direct contact than through the air, and it is further intensified b

y being concentrated on the smaller area of the eardrum. It is reasonable to assume that sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times as effectively compared with transmission though the air. What, then, is the gain in decibels produced by a stethoscope that has a sound gathering area of 15.0 cm2, and concentrates the sound onto two eardrums with a total area of 0.800 cm2 with an efficiency of 38.0%?

Answer: Δβ = 28.5278 dB

Explanation:

from the question we are given that;

the sound gathering area Ga = 15.0 cm²

total area Ae = 0.800 cm²

efficiency ε = 38 %

therefore we have that the effective gathering area of the stethoscope is;

As = ε Ga

As = 38 % × 15 = 5.7 cm²

But I ∝ 1/A

where Ie/Is = As/Ae

Ie/Is = 5.7/0.800 = 7.125

given that we are to assume that  sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times, this gives

I'e/I's = Ie/Is × 100 = 7.125 × 100 = 712.5

Δβ = βe - βs = (10dB) log (I'e/Io) - (10dB) log (I's/Io)

Δβ = (10dB) log (I'e/I's)

Δβ = (10dB) log (712.5) = 28.5278

Δβ = 28.5278 dB

cheers i hope this helps

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm only like 60% sure so you might want to double check this.

Think:

Need 400 mg

Have 100 mg per mL ( Need four times that amount )

Calculate:

Dosage on hand       Dosage desired

                             =

Amount on hand      X Amount desired

Cross multiply  100 mg  400 mg

                          1 mL X  =mL

                          100 X = 400

                          100 X  = 400

Simplify             ----------------------

                          100         100

                          X 4 mL

Withdraw 4 mL of reconstituted Zithromax using 5 mL syringe

Further dilute and give IV

Since single-dose vial, discard any remaining drug

Hopefully this helps!

a nurse is assessing a hospitalized client who is hearing voices due to psychosis. the client is easily distracted, and this is
Alex787 [66]

The most effective way for the nurse to proceed if the hospitalized client is hearing voices due to psychosis and is easily distracted, thus creating barrier in assessment completion, will be to complete the assessment in several short interactions.

<h3>How should a nurse deal with auditory hallucinations?</h3>

The clients who exhibit impaired cognition and psychotic thought processes tend to have insufficient attention span and thus may sometimes be unable to comprehend the questions being asked to them. The nurse may need several sessions with such clients to complete the assessment.

The most important aspect of such assessment is keeping the client under observation, but it also includes interaction with the client and engaging them in verbal communications. Only following this can ensure complete assessment. Psychiatric medications take some time to show their effect and the assessment shall be completed in a timely manner. In addition to this, the nurse can prepare themselves by planning for future acute psychiatric presentations by understanding how a client presents when in a psychotic state. It is within the scope of each nurse to complete the assessment. In the present scenario, the nurse has not been ineffective. The condition of the client is not favorable for conducting the complete assessment at once.
