   Corlee replied to uwa2012's topic in Student Assist

   OK...so correct me if I am wrong...but I think the answer to #1 is not a safe dose. They said it was 25-50mg/kg/hr (I think this hour should actually be per day) divided into 4 doses (q6h) 21 Lbs = 9.5 kg 50mg(50kg)=475mg (per day) 475mg/4(divided d...

3. Nursing Diagnoses for Mucocele

   Corlee replied to Corlee's topic in General Students

   It is an obstruction of the frontal sinuses. it causes bones to remodel and become enlarged which causes the blockage, as far as I understand it. This is the first time I have heard of it when my instructor assigned this to me.

4. Nursing Diagnoses for Mucocele

   Corlee replied to Corlee's topic in General Students

   I agree with the self image and pain. I can not use a "risk for" diagnosis, my instructors do not like those. This is not his first craniotomy, he had one about 10 years ago after the initial pedestrian vs car accident. I believe his pain is under...

10. are filter needles necessary?

    Corlee replied to brownbook's topic in Medications

    The biggest reason that ampules are used is that it is cheaper for the pharmacy department to purchase an ampule over a vial, as well as for Hospira to manufacturer the drugs in teh amps as well.

11. Dosage Calculation

    Corlee replied to judyileansmith's topic in Student Assist

    I always say what I need over what I have. You need 200mg of medication and what you have is a concentration of 100mg/ml. So 200mg/100mg= 2ml Hope that helps!
