<u>OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER: </u>

The state in which an individual feels the urge to do something repeatedly or has recurring thoughts is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. There are a wide range of symptoms that interfere with all the social and personal life.  Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is used to diagnose OCD. Some of the symptoms are namely

  • Fear of harming self or others
  • Fear of disease causing microbes or dirt or contaminating others
  • Fear of not having the needed things
  • Greater focus on moral or religious ideas
  • Fear of symmetry and order

OCD can be due to hereditary and genetic factors.  The abnormalities in the chemical, functional and structural abilities of the brain causes this mental disorder. OCD can be controlled by repetitive counselling, medications like antidepressants and Electroconvulsive therapy in some refractory and severe cases. It affects roughly 2.3% of people. Both genders are affected equally.  Electroconvulsive therapy involves the stimulation of the functions of brain with electric impulses while the person is under anaesthesia.

To warm up before a run, Lucas walks for five minutes. Which of these accurately evaluates his choice of warm-up activity?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The answer is A. Walking is the ideal work out before a run because it gets your body from sitting mode into workout mode in the least intense way. The motion of walking takes the muscles, tendons, and joints through a range of motion similar to what it will go through in running.

An order is written for 500 ml of ns to infuse at 40 gtt/min. how long would it take to infuse the ns if the set delivers 10 gtt
Artemon [7]

It would take<u> 125 minutes</u> to infuse the ns if the set delivers 10 gtt/ml. By taking the following factors into account: - The volume should be given in milliliters. - Time is expressed in minutes or hours. - Adjust the drop factor in gtts/ml.

Given,  500 ml of ns:

10 x 500 = 5,000 drops

10 drops per milliliter is 10 gtt/mL.

So, for 500 mL, you will receive:

Given that the flow rate is 40 gtt/min,

or 40 drops each minute,

we may calculate the number of minutes by dividing the total drops by 40:

5,000/40 = 125 minutes

How can I ensure that the infusion is administered at the prescribed rate?
