Cаse # DK -Deliа Kаrdz is a 24 year оld female new tо the practice and is seeing yоu first for a “cleaning”. She is attending college full-time and working part-time at the casino. Medical history indicates no unusual findings. She is taking Ortho-novum for birth control and ibuprofen or acetaminophen (“whatever’s handy”) as needed for headaches. VS are BP 106/70, P 64, R 14. Intraoral exam reveals generalized severe edema and erythema of marginal gingival tissues, generalized bleeding on probing, pocket depths of 1-4 mm with no recession and generalized decalcification. Dental and radiographic exams indicate no previous restorations but carious lesions on three maxillary molars in the cervical 1/3, proximal decay on three posterior teeth, and decay on four occlusal surfaces. There is no bone loss evident. The patient admits she has not been to a dentist in several years and is embarrassed about that. She reports she brushes once daily with “whitening toothpaste”. Small subgingival spicules of calculus are scattered minimally throughout the lower arch with slight amounts of supragingival calculus present on the lower anterior lingual surfaces.QUESTION: Of the following, the most appropriate oral hygiene recommendations for her needs would be to:

The physiciаn оrders the pаtient tо be stаrted оn Heparin infusion for DVT using the Heparin Protocol below. The patient weighs 176 lbs. Weight Based Heparin Protocol: Give the patient a bolus of heparin 80 units/kg (Use Stock: Heparin sodium 10,000 Units/mL for IV use). Start Heparin infusion to run at 18 units/kg/hr (Use standard concentration: 25,000 units heparin in 250 mL D5W). Check aPTT in 6 hours after infusion started. Adjust heparin therapy based on the table below. Heparin Protocol aPTT results Bolus or Hold Change Infusion Rate Order aPTT lab again PTT < 35 Bolus 80 units/kg Increase by 4 units/kg/hr 6 hours after bolus PTT 36-45 Bolus 40 units/kg Increase by 3 units/kg/hr 6 hours after bolus PTT 46-56 None Increase by 2 units/kg/hr 6 hours after an increase PTT 57-75 None No change In the morning and daily PTT 76-90 None Decrease by 2 units/kg/hr 6 hours after a decrease PTT 90-120 Hold infusion 1 hr Decrease by 3 units/kg/hr 6 hours after a decrease PTT > 120 Hold infusion 2 hr Decrease by 4 units/kg/hr 6 hours after a decrease After 6 hours the patient had labs drawn and the result is aPTT: 55. Based on the Heparin Protocol adjust the patient’s heparin infusion. Using the question above, what is the new adjusted heparin infusion dosage? Record your answer as a whole number. __________units/hr
