Question
The physician asks the patient about her diet after reviewing these results. The patient reveals a healthy diet, but reminds the physician that she had a gastric bypass 6 years ago. Therefore, she does not eat large quantities of food at any one time. The procedure was done in another state, as the patient recently moved to the area, and this information was not on the patient’s chart. The physician decides to order iron studies to investigate the cause of the anemia.
*Iron levels are low.
*Ferritin levels are low.
*TIBC levels are high.
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is determined to be the cause.
Based on how iron is absorbed and incorporated into heme, where do you think the breakdown is in the transport of iron for this patient?

One doctor writes a combination of lidocaine, antacid, and Benadryl for a sore throat. Depending on the cause of the sore throat, she may add nystatin, an antifungal medication, or acyclovir, an antiviral medication. A typical prescription will read: antacid 1 part, lidocaine 2 parts, Benadryl 1 part, and nystatin 4 parts; dispense 8 ounces. We have found one of the simplest ways to calculate the amount of each drug to mix is by using fractions. First we add up the total number of “parts,” and this becomes our denominator or bottom number. For this compound, the denominator is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8. The numerator or top number is how many parts of that ingredient are used. For example, two parts of the mixture are lidocaine, so lidocaine is 2/8 of the mixture. To calculate how many ounces of lidocaine are needed, the fraction is multiplied by the total…arrow_forward
