Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of warfarin-resistant rats in town Olf.

Introduction: Rodenticides are the pesticides that have a capability to kill the whole rodent species. Rodents have their own importance in the nature but sometimes require some control over their population, as they could transmit disease, destroy crops, and may cause ecological damage. Warfarin is a common anticoagulant that could be used as a rodenticide to kill mice and rats.

After the discovery, warfarin has been widely used and later it resulted in development of species of warfarin-resistant mice and rats. Another recently developed bromadiolone called as super-warfarin (second-generation warfarin) has a greater ability to accumulate in the liver and kill the organism.

An 1100 pound equine patient was given 20 mg/kg sucralfate 3 times a day, 2.8 mg/kg famotidine twice a day, and 10mg/kg doxycycline twice a day. Sucralfate comes as a 1 gm tablet, famotidine as 20 mg tablets, and doxycycline as 100mg tablets. All are in bottles of 100 tablets.How many total mg are needed for the patient and how many tablets of each would be needed to provide each dose?How many bottles of each would be needed to have available if this patient were to be on this drug regimen for 5 days?
The patient needs a solution of 2.5% dextrose in Lactated Ringer’s solution to run at 75 ml/hr for at least the next 12hours. LRS comes in fluid bags of 500 ml, 1 Liter, 3 Liters and 5 Liters. How can a 2.5% solution be made by adding50% dextrose to the LRS?
