Glucose solution is administered to a patient in a hospital. The density of the solution is 1.244 kg/l. If the blood pressure in the vein is 36.2 mmHg, then what is the minimum necessary height of the IV bag above the position of the needle?

(PLEASE HELP... I got 38.02 cm and .0380 m and its WRONG)

Saline solution is delivered into the vein of a patient through a needle. The saline solution has a viscosity of 0.00037 Pa.s, a density of 1,060 kg/m3, and is delivered through a 7.0-cm long needle with an internal diameter of 0.24 mm directly into the patient’s vein in which the blood pressure is 130 mmHg (1 mmHg=133.4 Pa). The saline solution must be delivered at a flow rate of 0.04×10-6 m3/s. How high must the saline solution be suspended in...

Brief Patient History Mr. A is an 18-year-old 80-kg African American man admitted to the intensive care unit after emergency surgery for gunshot wounds to the abdomen. The surgical procedure was extensive and involved repair of a perforated bowel, splenectomy, and hemostasis. Mr. A’s mean arterial pressure (MAP) dropped below 65 mm Hg during resuscitation, and he received 9 units of packed red blood cells and 4 L of lactated Ringer solution intravenously (IV) to achieve hemodynamic stability. Clinical Assessment...

The patient is a 70-year-old female who was a former office employee of her primary care physician. She had called the doctor's office three days prior to admission complaining of general weakness and nausea, and, according to her niece who checked in on her every few days, was apparently not able to get around her house very well. The physician advised her to come to the office, and she agreed but did not show up. The patient had often been...
