For each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). Group of answer choices 1. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy).   2. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone).   3. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).

Hello, i'm having a hard time organzing the calculations when it comes to rate mL/h. I already solved this problem but I need your help to confirm if my calculations were correct. I would appreciate if you can add step by steps in order for me to understand it better, thank you! Order: Pulmocare 480 mg daily via PEG over 6 hours, followed by 50 mL sterile water flush.   1. The Pulmocare label states 100 mg/100 mL. At what rate in mL/h will you set the feeding pump to administer the Pulmocare? 2. Calculate the total amount of enteral fluid the patient will receive in 24h 3.  How many milliliters of IV fluids is the patient receiving in 24h?

Our pharmacy is located near several pediatricians’ offices, and each of these pediatricians has a preferred mouth rinse for sore throat. 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…
