TEST 4 Part B Section 1 A standard dose (two tablets) of Tylenol contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. According to data at tylenolprofessional.com, after the medication has been fully metabolized, it is eliminated continuously from the body at a rate of approximately 23.1% per hour. a. Create an exponential equation displaying the amount of acetaminophen (after fully metabolized) in the system after 7 hours. b. How much acetaminophen is still in the system after 4 hours? After 12 hours? After 24 hours? Create a table representing 4, 12, and 24 hours. Section 2 A 2003 report to the American Association of Poison Control Centers stated that acetaminophen accounted for more overdoses and overdose deaths each year in the United States than any other pharmaceutical agent. In the following problem, you examine how dosages accumulate in the body. A typical dosage for arthritis sufferers recommends repeated dosages as follows: •Take one dose (2 tablets) every 4 to 6 hours while symptoms last. Do not take more than 12 tablets in 24 hours. Assume that a patient takes the maximum recommended dosage: one dose (of two tablets) every 4 hours throughout a 24-hour period, for a total of twelve 325-mg tablets. c. Fill in the following table, displaying how acetaminophen accumulates in the body: Time (hours) 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 Amount Remaining from Previous Doses (in mg) n.a. New Doses Added (in mg) 650 650 650 650 650 650 650 Total Amount in Bloodstream (in mg) d. How many doses of acetaminophen are in the bloodstream at the end of the 24-hour period? e. Patients are to take no more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen per day. How much acetaminophen did the above patient take? f. What will happen to the total amount in the bloodstream if this patient continues this routine? Section 1 A standard dose (two tablets) of Tylenol contains 650 mg of acetaminophen. According to data at tylenolprofessional.com, after the medication has been fully metabolized, it is eliminated continuously from the body at a rate of approximately 23.1% per hour. a. Create an exponential equation displaying the amount of acetaminophen (after fully metabolized) in the system after r hours. b. How much acetaminophen is still in the system after 4 hours?
