Pharm ?'s

Published

I have a test later today and cannot find the answers in my text for these ?'s. TIA!!!

1. What 2 vitamins are synthesized by the body?

2. Fe supplements may cause what color of BM? I think this one is black but not 100%.

3. Give examples for hypotonic and hypertonic IV solutions.

THANKS A MILLION!!!

I haven't even started school yet but here is my go at your questions:

1. Vitamin D : Skin exposed to sunshine synthesizes this vitamin.

Vitamin K: Bacteria in intestines produces vitamin K.

2. Too much iron in the body causes the stool to appear black.

3. Hypotonic : Having an osmolarity less than normal body fluids. examples being: .45% NaCl, 2.5 Dextrose 0.25 NaCl

4. Hypertonic: Having an osmolarity greater than normal body fluids.

examples being: D5 NaCl, D5 in Lactated Ringer's, D5 0.45 NaCl

Wasn't too hard for me to find the above information. I just looked it up in my texts.

Good luck.

Thanks Albertarose! I'm at work and was going to check my other texts this weekend, but you know how that goes. The only one I have here is my Pharm and no such luck. ;)
