Hayes et al. (2015) estimated that nurses spend between 16% and 40% of their time in medication administration, a process that entails reviewing the medication administration record; retrieving, preparing, and administering the medication; monitoring the outcomes; and documenting the intervention (Rodriguez-Gonzalez, 2014). However, errors occur in around 20% of all instances of medication administration leading to patient harm and increased costs of care (Hayes, 2015). Nurses need to be aware of their responsibilities in medication administration, developmental factors that increase the risk of harm, and best practices to prevent medication errors and adverse events.

Introduction

Objective
The effect of gamma radiation exposure on various biological species is known to vary with the radiation dose. Contrary to earlier theories which predict greater damage with increasing dosage, recent studies have observed a non-linear relationship at relatively low doses (Al-Safadi & Simon, 1996; Bajaj et al., 1970; Mokobia, & Anomohanran, 2005). An experiment to observe this effect on the monocot crop plant Hordeum Vulgare was carried out. Varying doses of 0 Krad, 5Krad, 10 Krad, 25 Krad, 50 Krad, and 100 Krad were used on six batches of seedlings. The aim of this paper is to discuss the methodology ...

Section 1. Renal Excretion of Drugs and their Metabolites

Determine whether your drug is:
a) Primarily excreted unchanged (as the parent drug) in the urine (renally cleared)
b) Excreted in the urine principally as metabolites (metabolised; hepatically cleared)

Salbutamol is cleared through the urinary system, metabolizing through the inactive 4’-O-sulphate (phenolic sulphate). Within the urine (with a minor extraction method being faeces), both the salbutamol and the metabolite sulphate are excreted. In studies, urinary excretion of salbutamol has resulted in around 64% of a dose being excreted as unchanged salbutamol, with about 12% excreted as the sulphate conjugate (Spina, 2003).
