Answer:
c) Whenever heartburn occurs (prn) Q.I.D.
Explanation:
- Antacids are OTC drugs (no prescription needed) used to treat heartburn. They are usually salts (aluminium, calcium or magnesium) that neutralize the excess of acid in the stomach.
- Examples of antacids are: Pepto Bismol (P&G), Maalox (SANOFI) and Tums (GSK)
- There are other types of medications that control heartburn, but they do it through a different mechanism: instead of neutralizing the excess of acid, they inhibit the production of acid in the stomach. These are: PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) and H2 inhibitors/blockers. These medications have important side effects and interactions, which is why they shouldn't be taken instead of an antacid to relief sporadic heartburn symptoms.
- Ranitidine (Zantac, by SANOFI) is an example of an H2 inhibitor, and Pantoprazole (Protonix, by Pfizer) is an example of a PPI.
- People who present heartburn only from time to time and have no underlying reflux disease are not prescribed PPIs or H2 inhibitors. It is advised that they take antacids after meals when heartburn occurs, but not in a routinely manner and not for more than 2 weeks. If symptoms persist or worsen, clients should see a doctor.
- Diet and lifestyle changes are also recommended for people who present heartburn; these include: avoiding foods that trigger it such as fried and spicy food & carbonated beverages, eating smaller meals, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and avoiding lying down after eating.
Answer:
The answer to the question: You should immediately... while talking about a woman who flagged you after lunch to inform you that she has found a young child by the roadside, who seems not to be breathing, and who seems to have been hit by a car, would be, B: Advise dispatch that you have been flagged down for a possible emergency.
Explanation:
The reason for this being the correct answer, instead of simply calling for assistance, calming the woman down, or grabbing your equipment and getting to the child´s location is that you have been informed of a possible emergency, but you are not yet sure of what exactly has happened, and if everything the woman has related, is accurate. As such, the first thing you need to do is inform dispatch that you have been informed of a possible situation so that they ready the necessary support in case the emergency is real, and it is all that was made out to be. Then, you must go and assess the situation.
Answer: B
Explanation:
After a muscle fiber is stimulated by a nerve signal, a release of stored calcium ions leads to muscle contraction.
Common electrolytes include sodium, chloride, magnesium, calcium and potassium.
Sodium and potassium help in the generation of nerve impulses while calcium aids muscle contraction. Sodium is also actively involved in the movement across cell membranes.
