Answer:
Option B, 0.338 mg
Explanation:
The question is essentially asking for the sum of masses of these two medications.
To make visualizing the addition of these two values easier, we can add a trailing zero to the amount of budesonide. 0.32 mg becomes 0.320 mg.
Now, we add line normal:
0.320 mg + 0.018 mg
= 0.338 mg
The total quantity of these two medications is 0.338 mg, option B.
The total quantity of budesonide and formoterol is the sum of the individual amounts, resulting in 0.338 mg.
The total quantity of budesonide and formoterol is calculated by adding the amounts of each substance together. The student is given 0.32 mg of budesonide and 0.018 mg of formoterol. To find the total quantity, you simply add these two numbers:
0.32 mg (budesonide) + 0.018 mg (formoterol) = 0.338 mg (total quantity)
Thus, the correct answer is b. 0.338 mg.In contrast to options a, b, and d, which refer to specific procedures like complex airway maneuvers, surgical Cricothyrotomy, or Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI), providing adequate gas exchange is the fundamental goal underlying all airway management strategies in emergency care. While specific techniques such as the Heimlich maneuver may be employed in situations like aspiration of a foreign object, the overarching aim is always to ensure proper oxygenation and ventilation.
