Which of the following statements is FALSE about the glomerulus and the processes that occur there?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The vasoconstriction or the narrowing of the blood vessels regulate the filtration rate of the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole vasoconstriction decreases the flow of blood to the glomerulus thus, decreases the filtration rate

The vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole increases the glomerular filtration rate due to the increase in the blood level in the glomerular capillaries.

Thus, option D is the correct option.

a nurse is caring for an infant who has been prescribed a one-time dose of ceftriaxone (rocephin) 50 mg/kg im. the infant weighs
RideAnS [48]

The nurse should administer 0.8 mL ceftriaxone IM.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Determine the infant's weight in kg: 2.2 lb / x kg

= weight in lb / 1 kg; 2.2 lb / x kg = 17.6 lb / 1 kg.

Cross multiply and x = 8 kg

Find total of one-time dose:

Amount prescribed x kg weight (mg x kg)

= total daily dose; 50 mg x 8 kg = 400 mg

What is the dose needed?

Dose needed = Desired; Desired = 400 mg

What is the dose available?

Dose available = Have; Have = 500 mg

Set up an equation using knowledge about basic equivalents.

Desired x Quantity / Have

= Amount to be given; 400 mg x 1 mL / 500 mg = x mL; 400 x 1

= 400 ÷ 500 = 0.8 mL
