acid secretion.

What is the infusion rate in drops per minute?**

42 drops per minute

*(Calculation: 1 L = 1000 mL, 1000 mL/8 hours = 125 mL/hour. 125 mL/hour × 20 drops/mL =

2500 drops/hour. 2500 drops/hour ÷ 60 minutes = 42 drops/minute.)*

, Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), reducing thromboxane A2

production, which inhibits platelet aggregation.

hydrocortisone powder are needed to prepare the prescription?**

0.6 grams

*(Calculation: 0.5% = 0.5 g/100 mL. For 120 mL, 0.5 g/100 mL × 120 mL = 0.6 g.)*



**How does spironolactone work as a potassium-sparing diuretic?**

It antagonizes aldosterone at the distal convoluted tubules, increasing sodium excretion while

sparing potassium.



**Calculate the body mass index (BMI) of a patient who weighs 75 kg and is 1.75 meters tall.**

BMI = 24.49

*(Calculation: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m²) = 75 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 24.49.)*
