A glucose monitor is an instrument that diabetics use to check their blood sugar. To use it, you insert a 'test strip' into the monitor and apply blood to it, then the blood is sucked into the instrument and the concentration of the sugars in the blood are measured. Like most instruments, it isn't 100% accurate 100% of the time. The informational pamphlet includued with the test strips say that a sample with a concentration of 7.2 mg/ml will give a reading with a standard deviation of 0.2 mg/ml. This means that when measured, a sample of blood with a 7.2 mg/ml glucose concentration will give a reading between mg/ml % of the time. mg/ml and

patient went in for a glucose tolerance test (performed exactly the same way we did it in class) and was told he had a normal response. A few days later, he wanted his exact test results to bring to his physiology instructor. This created a problem because the computer data bank had deleted the names from each file. However, the data from four different tests were still there. Your job is to decide which of the following sets of data was his. Please point out the normal data set and give reasons as that set is normal. All values given for blood glucose are in mg/dl.

Customers drop off their prescriptions either at the drive-through counter or at the front counter of the pharmacy. Customers can request that their prescriptions be filled immediately. In this case, they have to wait at least one hour depending on the current workload. Most customers are not willing to wait that long, so they opt to nominate a pick-up time at a later point during the day. Generally, customers drop their prescriptions in the morning before going to work (or at lunchtime) and they come back to pick up the drugs after work, typically after 5 pm. When dropping their prescription, a technician asks the customer for the pick-up time and puts the prescription in a box labeled with the hour preceding the pick-up time. For example, if the customer asks to have the prescription be ready at 5 pm, the technician will drop it in the box with the label at 4 pm (there is one box for each hour of the day). Every hour, one of the pharmacy technicians picks up the prescriptions due to…
Read chapter 35 of your textbook and review the information about dosage calculation. Analyze the following hypothetical situation:Sam is a CMA (AAMA) certified medical assistant working at a family medicine practice. He is working in the clinical area and receives an order form the doctor. The medication order reads: dexamethasone 6 mg IM qid to administer to a 25-year-old female. That same day, the pharmacy supplies Decadron ampules of 4 mg per mL. According to what you have studied this week, what do the abbreviations IM and qid mean? Can Sam administer Decadron even though the order reads dexamethasone? Why or why not? How many mL of the medication should Sam administer? Explain how you obtained the answer. What site of administration would you pick for this patient?
