Answer:

141.98 ml/day

Explanation:

The data given by the exercise is as follows:

Weight of child = 45 lbs

Dose of medication = 0.02 g / lbs four times a day

Bottle concentration = 125 mg / tbs

The question asks for the total amount of medication the child has to receive in ml per day.

One should know the conversion of tbs to ml (1 tbs = 4.93 ml approx.)

Total medication in grams this child should receive per day:

0.02 g/lbs x 45 lbs x 4 times a day = 3.6g a day = 3600 mg a day (always check which units are the most convenient)

Since 1 tsp of the medication contains 125mg:

3600 mg / 125 mg/tsp = 28.8 tsp a day

Finally, since each tsp contains approx. 4.93 ml:

28.8 tsp x 4.93 ml/tsp = 141.98 ml a day = 141.98 ml/day

Discuss the power of medical authority medical sociology
xz_007 [3.2K]

Over the past several decades medical sociology has become a major subdiscipline of sociology, at the same time assuming an increasingly conspicuous role in health care disciplines such as public health, health care management, nursing, and clinical medicine. The name medical sociology garners immediate recognition and legitimacy and, thus, continues to be widely used—for instance, to designate the Medical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association—even though most scholars in the area concede that the term is narrow and misleading. Many courses and texts, rather than using the term "sociology of medicine," refer instead to the sociology of health, health and health care, health and illness, health and medicine, or health and healing. The study of medicine is only part of the sociological study of health and health care, a broad field ranging from (1) social epidemiology, the study of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors in the etiology of disease and mortality; to (2) studies of the development and organizational dynamics of health occupations and professions, hospitals, health maintenance and long-term care organizations, including interorganizational relationships as well as interpersonal behavior, for example, between physician and patient; to (3) the reactions of societies to illness, including cultural meanings and normative expectations and, reciprocally, the reactions of individuals in interpreting, negotiating, managing, and socially constructing illness experience; to (4) the social policies, social movements, politics, and economic conditions that shape and are shaped by health and disease within single countries, as well as in a comparative, international context.
