A patient is continually receiving a drug. If the drug is eliminated from the body over time so that the fraction that remains after t hours is $e^{-0.4 t},$ at what constant rate should the drug be administered to maintain a steady level of the drug in the bloodstream?

The probability that a given drug will produce a serious side effect in a person using the drug is .02. In the binomial distribution for 450 people using the drug, what are the mean and standard deviation?

An argon-ion laser produces a cylindrical beam of light whose average power is 0.750 W. How much energy is contained in a 2.50-m length of the beam?

The percentage of drug released in the bloodstream t hours after being administered is affected by numerous variables including drug solubility and filler ingredients. For a particular drug and dosage, the percentage of drug released P is given by P = 48t^(1/5) (0 <= t <= 35). For example, the value P=50 represents 50% of the drug released. (A) Determine the percentage of drug released after 2 hr. Round to the nearest percent. (B) How many hours is required for 75% of the drug to be released? Round to the nearest tenth of an hour.

The strength of a person’s reaction to a certain drug is given by $R(Q)=Q\left(C-\frac{Q}{3}\right)^{1 / 2}$, where $Q$ represents the quantity of the drug given to the patient and $C$ is a constant. a. The derivative $R^{\prime}(Q)$ is called the sensitivity to the drug. Find $R^{\prime}(Q)$. b. Find the sensitivity to the drug if $C=59$ and a patient is given 87 units of the drug. c. Is the patient’s sensitivity to the drug increasing or decreasing when $Q=87 ?$

How is drug abuse different from drug misuse?

The drug ephedrine is a sympathetic nervous system mimic drug. What could be the effects of this drug on the body?

The copper(I) ion forms a complex ion with $C N^{-}$ according to the following equation:

$$\mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)+3 \mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_{3}^{2-}(a q) \quad K=1.0 \times 10^{11}$$

Calculate the solubility of $\mathrm{CuBr}(s)\left(K_{\mathrm{sp}}=1.0 \times 10^{-5}\right)$ in 1.0 L of 1.0 M NaCN.

Why do many drug users begin to take more and more of the drug they abuse?
