I confirm that I: Took a good, clear environment video during the set up for this assignment. I SLOWLY did a 360° scan of the entire room. I showed the desk or table surface and the chair where I am completing this assignment. I showed both the ceiling and the floor. I checked the video before submitting it to ensure that it was not blurry and that it was complete. I am aware that I need to take a good, clear environment video during the setup for EACH Exam this term. I am aware that failure to do so will result in a deduction of points and may result in a 0 for an exam.

5) In the context of the model for muscle contraction that we learned in class, what is the troponin protein complex? What other two major protein polymers does the troponin complex interface with? What does the troponin complex do with respect to the model of muscle contraction we learned?  (6 pts)

A 32-year-old male patient (weighing 72kg) is receiving treatment in hospital for a severe exacerbation of asthma. Aminophylline has been prescribed and the respiratory registrar would now like to begin twice daily theophylline, aiming for a steady state plasma concentration of 15mg/L. The patient has an estimated theophylline clearance of 3L/h. You calculate theophylline steady state plasma concentration using the following formula: Css = (S x F x D) / (Cl x T) Css = steady statement concentration (mg/L) S = salt factor = 1 F = bioavailability = 1 D = dose (mg) Cl = clearance (L/hour) T = dosing interval (hours)   How many milligrams of theophylline should be prescribed to this patient every 12 hours? Round your answer to the nearest 100mg.

Whilst conducting an NHS health check, you ask a patient about his alcohol consumption. He tells you he usually drinks four 500mL bottles of lager (4%ABV) spread across the week.   The formula below can be used to calculate units of alcohol:   How many units of alcohol is he consuming each week?

A 72-year-old male patient requires 7-day course of valaciclovir for a herpes simplex infection. He is immunocompetent but has renal impairment and you therefore wish to confirm the dose in the SmPC. On checking, his serum creatinine is 190micromol/litre. His weight is 76kg. The following formula can be used to estimate creatinine clearance: Constant: 1.04 (women); 1.23 (men)   An extract from SmPC is available below: How many valaciclovir 500mg tablets will be required for a 7-day course?

You are working as a pharmacist at the medicines information department at a local hospital. You are asked a query about the concentrate of sodium benzoate in antibiotic liquids commonly prescribed to children. The World Health Organisation recommends an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 5mg/kg of sodium benzoate. Flucloxacillin 125mg/5mL suspension contains 5mg of sodium benzoate per 5mL dose. A 6-month-old child (weight: 7.3kg) is prescribed flucloxacillin 125mg/5mL suspension, 5mL four times a day.   What percentage of the ADI of sodium benzoate will be consumed each day? Give your answer to ONE (1) decimal place.

A 64‑year‑old man with a history of non‑valvular atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and stage‑3 chronic kidney disease, presents to the emergency department with progressive fatigue, dizziness, and passing dark, tarry stools for two days. He has been taking rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily for stroke prevention for the past six months. His last dose was 4 hours ago. The patient is prescribed Ondexxya (andexanet alfa) to reverse anticoagulation using the following prescribing guidelines: Last rivaroxaban dose Timing of last dose before Ondexxya initiation < 8 hours ≥ 8 hours ≤ 10 mg 400 mg at a target rate of 30 mg/min followed by 4mg/min for 120 minutes 400 mg at a target rate of 30 mg/min followed by 4mg/min for 120 minutes > 10 mg 800 mg at a target rate of 30 mg/min followed by 8mg/min for 120 minutes How many Ondexxya 200mg vials are required to complete the full dosage regimen?

A 20-month-old patient requires a six-week treatment with vancomycin for osteomyelitis. The consultant asks you to calculate the dose as the child has renal impairment, and a recent serum creatinine is recorded as 0.8mg/dL. The child weighs 13kg and has a height of 87cm. An extract from the SmPC is available below:   What dose of vancomycin should be prescribed each day for the child?
