How much Dextrose 70% must be mixed with Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

231 ml

Explanation:

Let x represent the amo unt of Dextrose 70% in ml and y represent the amount of Dextrose 5% in ml needed to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%.

Since 1000 ml of Dextrose 20% is needed, hence:

x + y = 1000       (1)

Also 70% Dextrose is mixed with 5% dextrose to produce 20% dextrose. i.e.:

70% of x + 5% of y = 20% of 1000

0.7x + 0.05y = 200    (2)

We have to solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Let us multiply equation 2 by 20:

14x + y = 4000        (3)

subtract equation 1 from 3:

13x = 3000

x = 231 ml

Put x = 231 in equation 1 to find y:

231 + y = 1000

y = 769 ml

Therefore 231 ml of Dextrose 70% must be mixed with 769 ml of Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *

Eleanor takes several high-cost prescription drugs. She would like to enroll in a standalone Part D prescription drug plan that
andriy [413]

Answer:

A Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.  

Explanation:

This type of plan focuses on providing a standalone drug coverage to Medicare plans that an individual already subscribes to. Each Medicare Plan encompasses these four parts: Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) through Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans), and Part D (Prescription Drugs).  

The Medicare Prescription Drug Plan is available for individuals who have subscribed to the original Medicare plan (either or both Part A and B), the Medicare Medical Savings Account Plan, and some types of Medicare Cost Plan and Medicate Private-Fee-For-Services Plans.  

Individuals who have Part C are covered with Part D, however, Part C includes other medical services not covered by Part A and B such as vision, hearing, and dental. Thus, since Eleanor only wants a plan that covers prescription drug only, she should add the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan to her current Medicare package.
