A group of students wanted to check the association between hypertension and high levels of LDL in patients. Below shows the contingency table that they got after collecting data from a certain number of people. With High LDL With Low LDL With Hypertension 87 36 Without Hypertension 48 123 Guide Questions: 1. Determine the Odds Ratio and Relative Risk and interpret their values a. Is High LDL a protective factor or a risk factor for hypertension? b. Does your answer in 1a) follow current trends in literature? (Please cite your references) 2. Discuss the results above and its implications a. Using Bradford Hill Criteria, is it suggestive for a causal association? b. What other criteria/further research would you recommend to strengthen the notion that High LDL would contribute to hypertension?

Background: I have 4 set of results from different patients who have performed a spirometry test with reversibility. This test is used to determine if a patient improves their lung function after being given Ventolin which Is a medication usually prescribed to help Asthma patients. If a patient improves by 12% in either FEV1 or EVC it Is deemed a significant response. Questions I am given: 1. Please can you find the percent predicted change for both FEV1 and FVC between the Pre (Best) to Post value. 2. State if the pattent has a significant response to Ventolin.

The doctor has ordered 1000 mL of D5W to run for 8 hours for a client. It was hung at 10 am with equipment that delivers 20 gtt per mL. When checked at 3:30 pm, it had run in 600 mL. To adjust the rate in order to finish on time, how many gtt per minute should the IV be set to run? a. 80 gtt/min b. 24.24 gtt/min c. 24 gtt/min d. 53.33 gtt/min e. 53 gtt/min

1,000 mL of 0.9% NaCl is started at 1800 to infuse at 75 mL/hr. At 2000, the IV hourly rate is increased to 125 mL/hr per physican order. Parenteral intake is closed at 2200. Calculate the IV intake for this shift. Enter the numeral only (not the unit of measurement) in your answer.
