Which of the following clump and adhere to the wall of the injured blood vessel to begin the process of hemostasis?

To determine how many milliliters (mL) of potassium chloride the nurse should administer to provide 30 mEq, we can set up a proportion:

20 mEq is contained in 15 mL. So, to find out how many mL contain 30 mEq, we can set up the proportion:

20 mEq:15 mL=30 mEq:? mL20mEq:15mL=30mEq:xmL

Cross multiply:

20×?=15×3020×x=15×30

20?=45020x=450

Now, solve for ?x:

?=45020x=20450

?=22.5x=22.5

So, the nurse should administer approximately 22.5 mL of potassium chloride.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, this would be 23 mL.

Therefore, the nurse should administer 23 mL of potassium chloride.

A. Fish oil: While fish oil has some evidence for reducing inflammation, the evidence for its effectiveness in treating arthritis is mixed.

B. DHEA: DHEA is a hormone and there is not enough evidence to support its use for arthritis.

C. Garlic and soy: While garlic and soy have some general health benefits, there is no strong evidence they are effective for treating arthritis.

D. Chondroitin and glucosamine: These supplements are the most studied option for arthritis and some studies have shown they may provide modest pain relief, although the evidence is not conclusive.
