A 6-year-old patient has ceftazidime (Fortaz) 350 mg IVP TID prescribed. Available is ceftazidime (Fortaz) 100 mg/mL. How much should be drawn up to administer? Record answer to the tenth. [BLANK-1]

The van-der-Waals parameters for carbon dioxide gas are: a = 3.640 bar L2/mol2 b = 4.267 x 10-2 L/mol A 2.30 Liter cylinder contains 235 g of carbon dioxide at a temperature of 240.0°C. Part a) Calculate the pressure of the gas using the ideal gas equation of state. Provide your answer in bar. Part b) Calculate the pressure of the gas using the van-der-Waals equation of state. Provide your answer in bar. Part c) Modify the van-der-Waals equation to include only repulsive interactions between the gas molecules and calculate the resulting prediction for the pressure. Provide your answer in bar. Part d) Calculate the pressure needed to compress the gas to half of its initial volume at a constant temperature using the (full) van-der-Waals equation of state. Provide your answer in bar. Solve this problem on paper, document your approach and provide intermediate results.  Report the final answers with 3 significant figures.  Scan the pages(s) and upload them for grading.

The patient has an order to “Notify MD for temperature over 38 degrees C”. What is the equivalent in degrees Fahrenheit? Record answer to the tenths. [BLANK-1]

The kinetics of the synthesis of methanol has been studied experimentally. Since the reaction occurs in the gas phase, the amount of reactants and products is monitored in terms of their partial pressure. The following initial reaction rates (in the absence of the product methanol) have been determined based on the change of  the partial pressure of H2, namely

According to the Arms Trade Treaty (2013), which of the following activities comprise arms trade?

An adult patient who weighs 150 lb has a continuous intravenous infusion of heparin 12 units/kg/hr. If the pharmacy supplies heparin 25,000 units in 250 mL of D5w, what is the IV pump programmed for to deliver the ordered dose? Record answer to the tenths [BLANK-1]

A Health Care Provider prescribes methylprednisolone (Solumedrol) 7 mg q 8 hours IVP for a patient weighing 63 pounds. The suggested dose range is 0.139 to 0.554 mg/kg every 8 hours. What is the safe dose range for this patient? Record answer to the tenth. [BLANK-1]

The ideal gas equation is an idealized theoretical model while the van der Waals equation allows the precise calculation of pressure and volume for a given temperature and number of molecules.
