Underdosing of opioid analgesia is a significant problem in emergency medicine. Although many dosing regimens for intravenous morphine have been studied, 0.10 mg/kg generally is recommended as an acceptable starting dose for treating patients with acute pain. Unfortunately, many physicians start much lower.ll patients received an initial dose of 0.10 mg/kg of morphine. After 30 minutes, those randomized to the higher dose received 0.05 mg/kg of morphine, while the lower-dose group received placebo.
View Full Document. 12. 12) Whereas sodium is found mainly in the extracellular fluid, most ________ is found in the intracellular fluid. A) iron B) chloride C) potassium D) magnesium Answer: C Page Ref: 997; Fig. 26.2 13. 13) Which of the following describes the distribution of sodium and potassium between cells and body fluids?
So, theyâre the most abundant cations in the body and have an inverse relationship in regards to intracellular and extracellular concentrations. So, if you remember potassiumâs normal value is 3.5 â 5.0 and it is primarily located within the cell. And then, sodium is primary located outside of the cell. And your sodium levels, the normal is 135 â 145. So, the mnemonic to help you remember this is PISO. PISO. Potassium in the cell.
