An 84 year old male patient has been given a loading dose of digoxin of 298 micrograms in divided doses by intravenous infusion. He has a creatinine clearance (Ccr) of 34 ml / min. What is the maintenance dose (in micrograms) that this patient should receive? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use the formula provided to calculate the maintenance dose. Maintenance Dose = Peak body stores x % daily loss 100 Where: Peak Body Stores = Loading Dose % Daily Loss = 14 + Creatinine clearance (Ccr) 5

Digitalis, a drug used to control atrial fibrillation in patients is to be delivered to have a the drug amount to 20.0 μμg/kg body weight (2.205 pounds = 1.00 kg). The drug concentration must be carefully controlled and accurately measured or the patient may die from too low of concentration from heart complications or too high concentrations of fatal overdose. Calculate the mL of digitalis needed to treat a 160.0 pound patient using 0.800 mg/mL digitalis solution.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (heaviness) test of a blood sample is often used as a diagnosis of immune disorders and some other diseases. Assuming that the red blood cells are about a sphere with a diameter of (approximately 5 um) and a density (g/ml 1.125), and the density and viscosity of the plasma in which the red blood cells are settled (Pa.s), (1025 kg/m3 10-3 x 1.5) On arrangement and acceleration m/s2 9.81 Calculate the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (settlement rate).
