Answer:

The nurse should administer 3995.2 millilitres of syrup.

Explanation:

The conversion factor of pound weight to kilogram is; <em>1 lb = 0.453592 kg</em>

The body weight of the patient in Kg = 150 * 0.453592 = 68.04 kg

A prescription of 7.34 mg/kg acetaminophen means that he should receive;

7.34 mg * 68.04 = 499.4 mg of acetaminophen

Amount in grams of acetaminophen per millilitre of syrup = 0.125 mg

Number of millilitres of syrup required = 499.4 mg / 0.125 mg/mL = 3995.2 mL

Therefore, the nurse should administer 3995.2 millilitres of syrup.

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
