The patient is to receive heparin 1700 units/hr using an available solution of 25,000 units heparin in 1000 mL NS. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A drug is ordered to be administered IV at the initial rate of 2 mU/min., and may increase by 4 mU/min. q 15 min. to a maximum of 18 mU/min. The IV strength is 10 mU/mL.
 
  Calculate the initial flow rate in mL/h and construct a titration table for this order.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
