PhrmcytchMandi,

1. The conversion is 1 pound is equal to 454 grams. 1 pound is also equal

to 16 ounces.

Therefore 16 ounces is equal to 454 grams.

If you didn't know that 1 pound is 454 grams, you should know that

1 kg = 2.2 lbs.

1 kg = 1000 grams

16 ounces = 1 lbs

using ratio/proportion:

1000 grams / 2.2 lbs = X / 1 lbs

1000 grams / 2.2 = 454.545454

so the best answer is D (closest to this conversion)

2. When looking at a word problem that you aren't sure what information is

important - label the information.

As you read - 45 mEq is the dose ordered; 25 mL is the size of the vial; 4.4

mEq/ mL is the dosage strength (or concentration) of the drug on hand

The size of the vial is not relevant to this question - how do you know???

You want an answer in mL You have information w/ mEq/mL and you know the

amount of mEq you need.

Again - ratio/proportion

what you know (have / stock) on the right side - the unknown (to be solved

on the left)

4.4 mEq / 1 mL = 45 mEq / X (mEq's on top; mL on the bottom - match them

on each side)

Cross multiply and isolate X:

X = (45 mEq x 1 mL)/ 4.4 mEq (mEq's will cancel each other) = 45 mL/ 4.4 =

10.23 mL

Best answer - C

Hope this helps

Your book is right on the first question. It is 454gm. The second one is c.

Dear ALL,

In addition, to what Anne wrote I would like to attempt to help you to

understand a 'key' word in problem #1 that will explain why the answer is 454

grams and not 480 grams.

The KEY word is “WEIGHT” .

WEIGHT has much to do with gravity where as MASS does not involve gravity per

se.

MASS is defined as taking up space and has weight. It is the amount of material

or substance that a given object possesses.

See the following accurate internet definitions for WEIGHT :

" The force exerted on a body by a gravitational field. It is proportional to,

but not the same as, its mass. "

newton.physics.metu.edu.tr/~fizikt/html/hawking/l.html

" The force exerted on mass by gravity. "

www-spof.gsfc.nasa.gov/stargaze/Fgloss.htm

Here is the BEST way I found to explain Mass, or to think to it:

“The mass of an object is a measurement of the amount of material in a

substance. Mass refers to how much " stuff " is there. Elephants are very massive,

since they contain a lot of " stuff. "

www.learner.org/exhibits/parkphysics/glossary.html

More by Mastron:

Weight is measured in pounds (tons, dry ounces), which has to do with a scale

and gravitational pull.

Mass is measured in metric grams (or Kg or Mg or Mcg ) with a balance

(calibrated with mass-wts) and by area sometimes. Because it is proportional to

weight they can be used interchangeably.

One way to think of it is you may weigh a lot and be full of fat

(substance) or you can weigh the a same amount or more but be full of muscle

(different substance). The main difference would be ‘inches’ or what you see as

‘space’ that is being taken up! Personally, I would rather be smaller in inches

and weigh more.

Kg is proportional to lbs since mass is proportional to weight.

So by now you are asking ‘what the heck is Mastron talking about?

Well the KEY word is WEIGHT and the unit of measure used in the pharmacy that is

wt is pounds = 16 dry ounces

This is WHY the conversion FACTORS of Wt to Metric Mass are used instead of

metric to metric:

2.2 lbs =1 KG

Or

1 lb = 454 grams

That is why letter D = 454lbs is more accurate!

Special thanks again to Texpert Anne for showing the actual math of the problem.

Respectfully,

i may been on this one, but i think the answer is " D " b/c it deals with " weight "

were looking at it from a numerical stand point. i have see this alot in the

pharmacy i did my rotation at and i saw 454grams. they considered it as

480grams when it came to filling but the " actual weight " equivallency is 454

grams

.. i'm i bit more comfortable with the second question. i looked at it this

way...

ratio proportion.

4.4mEq 45mEq (is needed)

(what you have on hand) ------------ = ---------------------

1ml X

4.4X = 1 X 45

4.4X = 45

------------------

4.4 4.4

x= 10.23mEq

since you're looking for ml and not the mEq factor this one is a little bit

easier b/c you know the value of the mEq it's 4.4 mEq per 1ml. you have 25 ml.

which is 4.4X25 which is a total of 110mEq in 25ml. you only need 45mEq/Xml

out of that 110mEq/25ml stock. all you need to do is find out how many ml do you

need to give you 45mEq. there's your ratio proportion info set up above. i

usually reduce to the smallest ml consentration just so i have smaller numbers

to calculate, but you may not have a problem w/seeing math like i do. i only

see patterns...not numbers but it works

Hi,

You are mixing up fluid ounces with ounces.

16 fluid ounces****=****473 mL (sometimes rounded up to 480 mL

16 ounces****=****454 grams

That's why the answer is D.

It's very common in fluid measure to interchange 16 ounces/1 pint with 473 or

480 mL.

I have never seen a conversion of ounces (other than fluid) as anything besides

454 grams.

Sorry tj, I have never had that experience so I can't offer any advice or

opinion. It's all a matter of trial and error with us.

I had a bout of nausea the last week or two. I think I am lactose intolerant

again. I was for a while, then I wasn't and now I seem to be again. All I

can do is eliminate the milk and see if that's the culprit.

Hope you're feeling better once you regulate your dose of Citrucel.

Flo

[Guest guest]

what do you want to know? you were taking 6X the citrucel you should

have been, your friend caught it, you corrected the dose and now you

are doing better. i am not sure what kind of advice you are looking

for. sounds like you have it " fixed " to me.

be well and good luck

I am 2 1/2 years out and have always and still take a scoop of Citurcel

of related to taking too much.

Hi n

In my personal experience this usual indicates one of three things:

1. The person is so wrapped up in a self perpetuating negative energy

that the energy has taken on a 'personality' of its own

2. The person is being or has been subjected to psychic attack by

persons or entities outwith their knowledge (can also show up in this

form if another family member is particularly close - either

positively

or negatively i.e. a spouse worrying a lot about the invalid's

condition)

3. Negative energies brought forward either genetically through DNA

patterning/Miasm, or from past lives.

If it comes up with the box stating Treat Brain Engram, follow the

instructions to clear it, and it should allow you to continue after

the

clearance. Sometimes this can take a few tries. I often follow up

with

a Submorphic clearance (found in EEGEEC tab over to the right called

Submorphic - just click start and follow instructions)

Hope this helps.

It would seem my lugols is different to yours so I just want to

double check here, I would need to take 50 drops of mine to get the

Help please

Hi Bob,

After my wife's death 2 years ago, I had plans to help other people with

cancer but soon found that people basically do not listen until and when

they are ready.

Having lost two close friends to cancer in the last 30 days, my

objective is to have a protocol such that if I'm diagnosed of cancer

next week I will directly apply it.

I understand that preventive care matters very much.

In the last 3 years I have realized the limitations of allopatic

medicine and possible alternatives.

Being an electrical engineer I have more affinity with electrical things

and for that reason I favor an approach to cancer cure that is

predominantly based on electrical currents.

Next October I will attend the Rife conference in Seattle and with that

in mind I have decided to newly probe users area of communication like

the .

Normally I find difficult to correspond with people. When asked simple

but pointed questions they shy away from explanations; this is not all

bad, but apparently we have the same situation as the story of the blind

people reporting their experience of " seeing " the elephant. In one word,

they talk above my head.

There are zappers ( type) with different frequencies and dc offset;

but every time you switch the hand grab, the output the current is

reversed. Any idea about that?

There are blood purifiers pulsing an output of 27-30v. From the people's

questions I wonder how many have read the fine details in Beck's writings.

Then we find the Rife, Rife/Bare and other contraptions generating from

simple to complex " cure " currents " convey by radiation or galvanic contact.

Finally, there are magnetic pulsers, Sota being a reference, with people

claiming that stronger is better.

As I view all this, only the Beck's protocol appears to me as the least

disputed and clear.

Of the lists that you subscribe, which one may be more informative for me?

What is your favorite protocol and how you came about it?

Regards,

Luigi

Strokes are said to be like a thief in the night. Recovery is always

possible and almost always very hard work. The effort, the pain, the

struggle is another voyage in life. the sooner you get to it the

greater your chances of recovery.

I don't see how the Beck device can help now unless you are worried

about the side effects of the recovery medication you maybe taking.

Beck has do some work with magnetics you might want to look into.

Good luck and Gods speed in your recovery.

Ps. What therapy have you been trying ?

Luigi, if you like electric currents, you will like studying healing clay, and how it works. it is part electrical, and can prevent disease, which is easier than curing it.>> there's some folk around that know elec at various levels. i don't > know for> sure about this group as i subscribe to several Beck lists and all the > email> lands in the same Beck folder so i don't notice much who's in which group.>> so pose a question and see who's around that feels like responding.. . > might> stir up a conversation.>>> _,___ ------------ --------- --------- ------

Just the other night, I saw an interview on tv with Norman Doige, who has

written a book on the human brain, and he was talking about how stroke

sufferers can regain control with brain exercises. Here's the link to the

interview http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2008/s2360105.htm

and here's the link to his website about his book.

It was very fascinating, what he had to say.

Hi Pat - you could pass her the above link and hopefully, this

will help her understand the need to get tested to see if she has antibodies to

her thyroid. I am surprised her doctors have not done this test. Can you get your

friend to post you her last thyroid function tests together with the reference

range for each of the tests.

Luv - Sheila

Some months back i though i read on here that theres new

research about new antibodies or something which means many more people who

are actually hypothyroid are not being picked up by existing tests

I have a friend in the USA who I know is Hypothyroid

She also clearly has a small goitre and is known to have

thyroid nodules which they simply biopsy every year

I think she needs proper treatment and diagnosis but the

only way she will get it is if the research is put in front of her doctor

So can someone give me the link please

From what I have been hearing, the doctors on Shomon's web

site are NOT to be recommended, at least some of them and some have a very bad

name. I don't believe her list has been updated which is a shame, because

people are paying a lot of money to see sham doctors. One of the best forums

for the US is Janie's Natural Thyroid Hormone naturalthyroidhormones

I would suggest asking your friend to join up there and ask if there are

any 'good' doctors who know what they are talking about in the area where your

friend is living.

Hello Pat,

We do have Dr's here in the USA that recognise and treat hypothyroid

patients - I am hypot with multiple nodules and Hashi's and am being

treated finally after years of non treatment in the UK.

The problem here(USA) appears to be finding one who is good - I was

lucky to find a holistic family practictioner who has several hypot

patients. If your friend is anywhere near NE Florida then pass my

email address on to her. Otherwise she needs to get online to the

Shomon website and ask around - I am sure she will find a forum

that talks of good Dr's across the States.

Also Shomon's Book Living Well with Hypothyroidism has a list of

Drs and practitioners who contributed to her book.

Also does she have any metabolic clinics near her? It may be a place

to go and ask.

Sorry I cannot be of any help with the research you ask about.

Best of luck,

M
