Answer: The volume in ml that should be drawn is 2.4ml.

Explanation:

Heparin is an anticoagulant which is administered to prevent the formation of blood

clot in high risk patients. The high risk patients include those undergoing open-heart surgery, bypass surgery, kidney dialysis, and blood transfusions. This medication can be administered subcutaneously ( that is, under the skin) by a health care provider. The exact dosage should be administered to avoid adverse effects.

From the question given,

In 5 ml of stock ampoules, there are 25,000 units.

To calculate how many millilitres will deliver 1 unit, divide by 25,000

5 ÷ 25000 = 0.0002

Therefore 0.0002 ml will deliver 1 Unit.

To calculate the volume that will deliver 12,000 units, multiply by 12,000.

Therefore,

12,000 × 0.0002 = 2.4mL

From the calculation, the volume in ml that should be drawn is 2.4ml

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

"How many minutes after meals should I take the levothyroxine dose?"

Explanation:

Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone that is prescribed for patients with deficiency in the production of thyroxine, a hormone released by the thyroid gland. It is important that this medication is only used with prescription and medical monitoring, where the correct way to take the medication will be shown, solving the problem and decreasing the chances of side effects.

One of the main instructions on the intake of levothyroxine is that it should be taken when the patient has not yet eaten and is on an empty stomach. In this case, a patient who wishes to take the medicine after meals demonstrates the need for additional teaching about the medicine.

Mucous membranes arise from which layer of the fertilized egg?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Most correct answer is all of the germ layers

Explanation:

Mucous membranes constitute the innermost layer of a number of hollow organs (i.e.: gastrointestinal tract). They are composed of an epithelial lining which overlies a deeper layer of connective tissue. Typically, each of these components arises from a different germ layer. For instance: the mucous lining of the gut arises from a combination of endoderm-derived epithelium and lateral mesoderm-derived connective tissue. Other mucous membranes may have different origins, for example: The mucous lining of the oral cavity is composed of ectoderm-derived epithelium and underlying connective tissue derived from head mesenchyme (combination of cephalic neural crest and paraxial mesoderm).

Summary:

Mucous Membrane = Epithelium (derived mainly from endoderm, followed by ectoderm, rarely mesoderm) + Underlying Connective Tissue (usually mesoderm)

g what constitutes a healthy or normal bmi? what are some of the reasons it is useful to have a single number, such as a bmi, to
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

BMI is the shortened form for Body Mass Index.

The Body Mass Index is a simple arithmetic for determining one's body fat using their height and weight.    

The formula is given as

 

\frac{Weight (Kilograms)}{Height (Metres)} or

(\frac{Weight (Pounds)}{Height (Inches}) * 703

If an adults BMI falls within the 18.5 to 24.9 range, it is considered healthy.

One of the benefits of using BMI as a health metric is that it is so easy to compute.

Its major disadvantage is that it only accounts for height and weight which can be altered by a variety of circumstances and as such in most cases are not the best indicators of whether or not, one if healthy.

For example, a higher muscle mass will mean more weight and as such, a higher BMI. Generally speaking, more muscle and less fat is healthy. So BMI, in this case, is useless as a metric of health status.

Other factors which alter the reading of BMI are: Gender, Frame Size, Age,

Pregnancy etc.

An individual who is very muscular, pregnant, or have a large frame, will most likely have a higher BMI calculation which may indicate that one is obese or overweight when they're not.

Cheers!
