• Describe a recent lunch you had (or would like to have!). Make sure you include the ingredients, to the best of your knowledge. For example, if you had a sandwich, what exactly was in it? List the ingredients.
• Determine the major class of macromolecule that is included in each ingredient. You can be specific, but make sure you include the name of the major group (e.g., lipid, protein, etc.).
• Next, identify the monomer for each macromolecule.
• “Describe the major function inside of your cells of each macromolecule.
• In a paragraph, please explain what reaction occurs as you break down those macromolecules, and the reaction that occurs when the monomers are used by your body to build new macromolecules.
• Finally, if there was any class or classes of macromolecule that was not included in your lunch, please take a sentence or two to describe it, its monomer, and biological function.

Math 103 Read the following scenario and answer the questions (20 points total, 5 points for each question).

An order for heparin was written as follows: Heparin 1000 units subcut using a vial labeled 20,000 units/mL. The nurse administered 0.5 mL

1.What possible factors contributed to the error?

2. By how many units of heparin was the client overdosed?

3. By how many mL was the client overdosed?

4. What are some of the potential outcomes of a client receiving an overdose of heparin?

second part For this discussion I would like you to find a story about a nurse that made an error while on the job, in other words, in violation of one of the 6 Rights (it does not have to be a calculation error). You may not use any article in a nursing text book. Ask a nurse, or your teacher or search the web. Here are the particulars (20 points):

1. Find the story and retell it here. (Be sure to check previous postings to ensure that another student isn’t using the same story….no duplicates.)

• Which of the six rights of Safe Medication Administration was violated? There could be multiple rights violated. (2 points)
• Tell how the nurse defended or justified her/himself. If they did not, tell how they might have defended or justified him/herselves. (6points)
• Provide a link or documentation of where you found your story (2 points).
