What is the proper way to measure the radial pulse rate of a test subject or patient who has a regular pulse? Count the number of pulses for 30 seconds and then multiply by 2. Count the number of pulses for 60 seconds and then divide by 2. Count the number of pulses for two minutes and then divide by 2. Count the number of pulses for 10 seconds and then multiply by 6.

You have been asked to take a pulse and a blood pressure reading on 80-year-old Mrs. Leonard, who is very frail and thin. The provider is running ahead of schedule and is waiting on you so he can examine the patient. You have to work rather quickly. You take the patient's pulse rate, which is 96 beats per minute. You notice that the patient's heart appears to skip a few beats. The patient's blood pressure is 152/94. A. What type of blood pressure cuff would work best on this patient? B. What may be a contributor to the patient's pulse rate being so high? C. Would the patient be considered to have controlled blood pressure? D. The patient's heart rhythm would be termed as what?

2 Jane who weighs 96 kg is to receive aciclovir at a dose of 5 mg/kg infused over 1.5 hours. The required volume of concentrated solution (500 mg/20 mL) has been added to 0.9% saline to prepare 190 mL of infusion. Calculate the required infusion rate (mL/min). (Answer to 2 decimal places.) Correct answer is 2.11 mL/min Please show all working out

A plastic bag contains physiological saline solution for infusion into the blood stream. If the pressure in your vein is 15 torr, what is the minimum height required for infusing the saline into the vein at a pressure of 20 torr above the pressure in the vein (assume rsal = 1 kg/L).

DA-LTE Blood is flowing through a bundle of hollow fiber tubes that are each 50 µm in diameter. There are 10,000 tubes in the bundle. The hollow fiber tube length is 12 cm and the pressure drop across each tube is found to be 250 mmHg. The hematocrit of the blood is 0.40. Estimate the blood flow rate for these conditions in each tube.
