Answer:
Diffusion is the net movement of any substance from a higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. It is conducting by a concentration gradient.
Osmosis is a process in which solvent (molecules) pass through a semipermeable membrane (SPM) from a lower concentration solution region to a higher concentration region so it equalizes the concentrations on each side of the SPM.
A <u>hypotonic solution</u> is a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell than outside of the cell. Thus the movement of water is from outside to the inside of the cell.
A <u>hypertonic solution</u> is a solution in which solutes concentration is greater outside the cell and low concentration inside. The movement of water is from inside the cell to outside the cell.
An <u>isotonic solution</u> where two solutions having the same concentration inside and outside of the cell so there is free movement of molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
Answer:
No. 5% of ciprofloxacin oral suspension for this child exceeds the therapeutic range.
Explanation:
Single dose of ciprofloxacin suspension shall be 400 mg
the pediatric oral dose is 10-20 mg/kg and body weight of child is 55 lb.
1 kg is 2.2 lb= 55÷ 2.2 = 25 kg
minimum required dose for child is 25 × 10= 250 mg
maximum required dose for child is 25 × 20 = 500 mg
1 teaspoonful is 5000 mg.
500 mg ÷ 5000 mg = 0.1 tsp
Hence, the dose exceeds the therapeutic range.
Answer:
Checking the patency of the nasogastric tube
A nasogastric tube is used after surgery to decompress the stomach and limit tension on the suture line. As another means of limiting pressure on the suture line, oral feedings should not be implemented in the immediate postoperative period when the nasogastric tube is in place. Vomiting indicates obstruction of the nasogastric tube; this is why the initial action should be to check the patency of the tube. It is too soon for signs of infection to occur.
