Filipina’s 3-year-old daughter, Manila, was brought to a clinic. The doctor diagnosed Manila with a severe dry cough. A mucolytic solution was prescribed and to be administered for seven days. The prescription states, “Mucolytic, XYZ Brand, 60 ml, dosage-1 teaspoon 1 hour before a meal, 3x a day”.
Now, Filipina is skeptical of the dosage mentioned in the prescription regarding the proper amount of medicine to be administered to her daughter. If you are Filipina, how are you going to approach the case to make sure that your daughter will not have an overdose or underdose of the medicine prescribed? Apply the principle of accuracy and precision in the problem.
Here's a photo of Sam. He has infectious mononucleosis (IM). After he was given the antibiotic penicillin he developed this rash: (rash in picture)
Select two things that are consistent with this situation.
1.
Mono often causes a really sore throat. Ali's doctor might have thought Ali had strep throat, and therefore prescribed an antibiotic.
2.
Antibiotics only kill bacteria. Taking an antibiotic when you have mono will not cure mono.
3.
The only explanation is that Ali simultaneously got mono, took penicillin, AND got chickenpox.
4.
Although the rash is unpleasant, at least Ali will not get rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis due to untreated mono.
