What is the value of 784÷28{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”784÷28″}?

 People living in areas of high background radiation may experience higher death rates from radiation-induced cancers. Calculate the increase in deaths from radiation-induced cancer in a city of 1,000,000 persons, assuming average residence time is 20 years.

 A radiation worker ingests 1.0 μg of 239Pu. Calculate the total dose in rem to the surrounding tissue. The dose DD in rem is calculated using the equation: D=A⋅Dose FactorD = A \cdot \text{Dose Factor} Where: AA is the activity of the radioactive substance (in Ci or Bq). The dose factor depends on the type of radiation and the tissue irradiated. For 239Pu, the dose factor for alpha particles is typically provided in units of rem per Ci per year or per mCi. In this case, since the worker ingested 1.0 μg1.0 \, \mu g of plutonium, we can use standard dose factors and the activity of the substance to compute the dose.

The client is to receive 15 mg of magic mouth wash every 4 hours as needed.  The medication is dispensed as 30mg/3mL.  How many mL’s will the nurse administer to the client per dose? Round to the tenths place.

The client is on radiation treatment 8/10 for skin melanoma.  The client is complaining of increasing discomfort related to the picture below.  Which statement by the client would require further teaching by the nurse?

Case Study Questions 67-69 Question 69: The nurse is assessing the 69-year-old client who was admitted 3 days ago for exacerbation of heart failure and episodes of atrial fibrillation. They have a history of emphysema and hypercholesterolemia. Vital signs: Blood Pressure=102/54; Pulse=118 beats/min. and irregular; Respiratory Rate=23 breaths/min.;SPO2=91% on 2 liters nasal cannula; Temp. 99.2°F (37.3°C)Neurological: Alert and oriented x 3; the client took several minutes to answer a question and they kept dropping their hairbrush.Respiratory: slight dyspnea, productive coughIntegumentary: right and left leg 2+ pitting edema, warm, taut skin, Pain=8 (0-10 Scale) The nurse would hypothesize that this client is experiencing which of the following priority medical conditions?

The nurse is developing a plan of care for the client admitted with ulcerative colitis.  Which of the following does the nurse identify as a priority goal?
