Answer to Question 1

200

Global Rationale: Because the frequency of the medication has changed, begin by determining the original total daily dose by multiplying 400 mg x 3 = 1200 mg. Then determine the changed dose by multiplying 600 mg x 4 = 2400 mg. Then use the equation Fraction of Change = Change/Original, or Fraction of Change = 2400/1200 = 2.00 or 200. The client's dose was changed by 200.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale 1: One half of 4 ounces of juice is 2 ounces. Calculate  of 6 ounces of coffee by multiplying  x 6/1= 18/4 = 4.5 ounces. One half of 8 ounces of broth is 4 ounces. Calculate  of 12 ounces of water by multiplying  x 12/1 = 36/4 = 9 ounces. The patient consumed the most of water.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
