You begin your 1600 – midnight shift with a patient who is undergoing CBI treatment. At 1600, the irrigation bag contains 1 400 mL of N/S and the drainage bag contains 250 mL. You empty the drainage bag at 2100, removing 1 L of fluid. At this time, the irrigation bag contains 800 mL of fluid. At 2300, the irrigation bag runs empty and you replace it with a new, 1 L bag of N/S. At the end of your shift, the irrigation bag has 750 mL remaining, and the drainage bag contains 1 350 mL.What was the CBI outflow during your shift? Indicate the quantity and unit of measure where specified. Quantity: Unit:

The peak plasma concentration achieved after the first IV dose of drug X is 25 mg/L. The drug’s half-life is 3.5 hours,   and it is administered every 12 hours. What will be the peak plasma concentration at steady state?

Would it be more difficult to meet a 70 ppb one hour averaged standard or 70 ppb 8-hr averaged standard and why?

The normal induction dosage that my wife gives for the drug Propofol is 1.8 mg/kg How much propofol should she give her 85kg patient to make them go to sleep?

Edward, a 74-year-old retired professor, has just undergone surgery for a fractured hip. The surgery, which was performed under general anaesthesia, was uneventful. He returns to the surgical ward with IV Dextrose 5% in 0.9% Normal Saline at 100mls/hr and Morphine via Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) 1mg at 5-minute lockout (30mg maximum in 4 hours) for pain.1. List two (2) IMMEDIATE postoperative problems that the Nurse might anticipate while caring for this patient 2. Explain the reason that may predispose the patient to the following potential postoperative problem: Atelectasis, Hypovolemic Shock, Acute Urinary Retention and Pulmonary Embolism

The initial plasma concentration of a drug given iv at 8:00am is 210 mg/ml.  If the half life of the drug is 6 hours, what will the plasma concentration be at 7:00pm that same day?

4) A 45-year old woman weighing 68 kg is admitted to hospital after a drug overdose. A toxic plasma concentration of 264 mg/mL is recorded on admission. After 35 hours, a plasma concentration of 8.25mg/ml is recorded. Given this information, calculate the half life for this drug.(Assume the distribution is complete and that the elimination is described by a first-order process.)unit- hours

What is the implications of not meeting the benchmark for the two patient indentifiers?

Your doctor is determining which drug would best treat your ailment - a drug with a low dissociation constant and a few significant side effects or a drug with a high dissociation constant and many mild side effects. There's no perfect choice, so they go with the first choice. What does this mean for you? A) You'll need a relatively low dose of the drug to be effective and chances of side effects are low B) You'll need a relatively high dose of the drug but the chances of side effects are low. C) You'll need a relatively high dose of the drug but the side effects are not expected to be harmful D) You'll need a relatively low dose of the drug but the risk of side effects is high.
