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.

Explanation: In old age, dehydration and compression of the disc between the vertebrae in the spine causes reduction in height. The loss of bone density (osteoporosis) can also make the spine to become more curved, and make the vertebrae to collapse due to thinning that is caused by overall decrease in body water. This can be the reason for the reduction in height of the patient.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is steroidal hormone which is produced by outer-section of adrenal cortex in adrenal gland. It acts on distal tubules and the collecting ducts of kidney to cause conservation of the sodium by facilitating the secretion of the potassium and increased water retention.
Atrial natriuretic hormones are natriuretic peptide hormone which are secreted from cardiac atria. Main function of the hormone is causing reduction in the volume of the expanded extracellular fluid by increasing the renal sodium excretion.
<u>Thus, Atrial natriuretic hormones causes sodium and the Water loss while Aldosterone helps in the conservation of the sodium and water retention.</u>
