A friend of yours is very nice but more patriotic than excited about reading books. At a party with friends she says, “America’s health care system is by far the best in the world, and therefore our pregnant moms and newborn babies are the healthiest.” Based on what you read and watched in Unit 1, what might you say about at least two issues related to prenatal care, the birthing process, and the health of pregnant mothers and newborns that might suggest there is room for improvement in America?

Coconut oil is touted to have a wide variety of health benefits, leading people to add it to everything from their morning coffee to their vegetables at dinner. Which of these benefits are supported by research? Should we be concerned about the saturated fat content?
How do the physical and chemical properties of different types of fat affect our health?
Based on your research, would you recommend replacing sources of monounsaturated fats (like olive oil and nuts) with coconut oil instead?

I am struggling with easy problem. Can you pls check my work ? The patient is to receive 500 mL of D5W over 6 hours . What is the drip rate per minute if the tubing provides 12 gtts per mL?
Question is drip per minute(time) so I must include time (6 hours) in my formula ?
Gtt/min 12gtt/ml x 500/360 min =6000/360=118 gtt/min
A patient who weighs 74 pounds has an order for Advil (ibuprofen) 3.5 mg/kg every 6 hours. How many mg will you give in a single dose?
3,5MG /KG X33.6KG =118 MG 74 PONDS =33.6 KG
A 15 pound child has an order for an antibiotic for 55 mg/kg/every 6 hours. The antibiotic comes as 1 g/25 mL. What is the amount of a single dose?
55MG/KG/DOSE X1kg/2.2lbsx 15 lbsx25ml/1gr x1gram /1000mg 9, 4 ml
The order is to give 60 mg of Garamycin (gentamicin) IM every 8hr. The vial is labeled 80 mg/ 2 mL. How many mL will you give?
60mg x2ml/80 mg =160/80 2 ml I did not put hours because I want to know ml only ?
Give Pronestyl (procainamide HCl) 200 mg. The drug is available as 0.5 g/ mL. How many mL will you give?
200mgxml/05mg =200/0.5
The recommended dose for an antibiotic is 80mg/kg/day. If the patient weighs 38 kg how many mg/day should the patient receive?
80x38 =3040 mg /day
